Music Education Professor Bonnie Jacobi had an article featured in the latest issue of the American Eurhythmics Society newsletter. The mission of the American Eurhythmics Society (AES) is to promote the use of eurhythmics among music and other arts educators. The AES provides education, outreach, and engagement on a national level. (americaneurhythmics.org)

In Dr. Jacobi's article, she states "One way to go back to the core of what eurhythmics is all about – is to remember that it all begins with a WALK. How easy it is to forget that the simple everyday walk enables us to feel: beat, meter, tempo, phrase, and even nuance. Whether you are working with children who are young or children who are new to Eurhythmics, a walking activity helps the child to feel comfortable because it is something they do on a constant basis. Every child can be successful with a walk!"
