Books and Materials

“Where can I find more materials about Eurhythmics?”
“Are there any books in print that have some of the games you used?”

These are the questions that I, and other Dalcroze teachers, often hear. Materials concerning Eurhythmics and related areas are sometimes hard to find, even in music stores. Most of the materials listed below may be found at Amazon.com., but if not, other sources are listed.
