eurythmics

Method of musical training for young children. Eurythmics was developed by Swiss musician Émile Jaques-Dalcroze in the early years of the 20th century. It called for movements of the arms and legs in specific ways in response to changing rhythms and pitches. The initial aim was to encourage a physical response to music in the young, in the hope that it would educate them musically. Very popular in the early 20th century, it has declined in recent decades.
