Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rhythmic Movement, Vol. 1: Development of the Rhythmic and Metric Sense, of the Instinct for Harmonious and Balanced Movements, and of Good Motor Habits
It seemed to me that a system in which the muscles are trained to contract and relax rhythmically must result in strengthening the metric and rhythmic instincts; so I invented some I exercises in marching, arm-movements, and movements of the body for my little pupils, to'be carried out in time to and in accordance with the nuances Of the music, and was convinced that this would teach them to become rhythmical. But now my difficulties began. During the first lessons I found that the children, even those most gifted from the physical and' intellectual standpoints, did not all respond in the same way. Some responded too slowly.
