Zusammenfassung
The Moving Body in the Aural Skills Classroom-influenced by Dalcroze-Eurhythmics-is a practical guide for college instructors and students interested in integrating the moving body into the aural skills classroom.

The Moving Body is a significant contribution to both the literature on aural skills pedagogy and eurhythmics pedagogy that deserves a place on the bookshelf of readers concerned with either area. It is the first book since Dalcroze's own rather dated volumes to attempt to tackle the full range of concepts a musicianship teacher must cover using a movement and improvisation based approach. Moreover, its comprehensive exercises make it possible to draw movement and kinesthetic learning into every branch of an aural skills curriculum.
