Dalcroze Eurhythmics for Choirs |
Presented by:
Monica Dale, Ellicott City, MD
|
Presider: Joanna Fulton, Sturgeon Bay |
|  It takes skill to sing, breathe, listen, and watch a conductor simultaneously! Learn some Eurhythmics-based techniques for developing each singer’s skills in ways that improve the choir’s cohesion as a group. Exercises in movement, aural perception, and visual cues provide sensory integration and greater musicianship. (And it’s fun!)
