Music and Movement inspired by
Dalcroze Eurhythmics

A workshop with Emma Shubin

Dalcroze Eurythmics, developed by Swiss composer, pianist and educator Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, is a unique, exciting, and powerful education in music for children and adults.  Rhythmic movement, active listening, and improvisation unlock dacreativity, nurture imagination, and open the doors to enriched and enlivened music making.  Musical concepts are explored through social and interactive games that invite the students to trust their ideas, develop their own intuitions and deepen their musical knowledge and understanding - all through the spirit of play!

In a typical class of Eurhythmics (literally, good rhythm), rhythm games, songs, gesture, and movement will be combined so that the joy of music is experienced as well as understood.  The goal of a Dalcroze classroom is not to have a student say, “I know” but to have a student say, “I have experienced!”  As a precursor to or in tandem with private music lessons, Dalcroze Eurhythmics will create a platform for accelerated and deep musical learning for all.

As a recipient of in-depth Dalcroze training in the Conservatory at the Longy School of Music and as a professional studies student at the Dalcroze School of the Rockies, I teach Music and Movement classes inspired by the method Jaques Dalcroze. 

Emma Shubin:
Flutist Emma Shubin has been joyfully making music since the age of six.  She is a graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy where she studied music, creative writing, and photography. During her Conservatory studies at the Longy School of Music in Boston, Emma became interested in Dalcroze Eurhythmics, a holistic method of teaching music through movement. She now teaches Dalcroze inspired classes to young children throughout the Front Range.  She has appeared as a guest lecturer at the Metropolitan State College of Denver, and as clinician for the Cantabile Singers of Boulder, Suzuki string institutes, and throughout the Boulder Valley School District.

Emma received her BM in flute performance as a student of Christina Jennings at CU Boulder and was a pupil of legendary flutist Robert Willoughby at the Longy School of Music in Boston. She maintains a private flute studio ages 8-48, and can be heard giving concerts from Boulder to Boston, and Japan to Switzerland.  Locally, she performs with her jazz quartet in Louisville, and The Fedora Trio, a flute, viola, and harp ensemble brought together for their mutual passion for innovative programming, great music, and fabulous hats.  She is the founder and director of the Meet the Composer concert series focused on an in-depth exploration of one composer per performance, and Among Friends, a mixed media concert series dedicated to combining visual and musical mediums in performance.  Emma is always looking for ways to share her love of great music, masterful composers, mixed media, and the performers who bring their mediums to life, with diverse audiences throughout the Front Range.
