Eurhythmics Certificate

The University of Kentucky Eurhythmics certificate, typically earned with three years of satisfactory engagement in the summer institute workshops, features courses that apply to the music teacher’s work with students of all ages using an approach to music education created by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze. Additionally, successful completion of the University of Kentucky eurhythmics certificate can serve as an entry into study for the internationally-recognized Dalcroze certificate. The Dalcroze approach has three branches: eurhythmics trains the body to respond kinesthetically to rhythmic and dynamic concepts. Solfège trains the ear, eye, and voice in pitch, melody, and harmony. Improvisation enables students to respond to concepts according to their own invention, through movement, voice, and at an instrument.
