Movement That Fits

Comprised of singing and body movement activities which incorporate the principles of music educator Jaques Dalcroze and using the repertoire of the Suzuki Method®, Movement That Fits was written by Dalcroze educator Joy Yelin who is also knowledgeable about the Suzuki Method®. There is an introduction by the editor, Ken Guilmartin, director of the Center for Music and Young Children and himself a certified Dalcroze instructor. Movement That Fits consists of sequentially structured singing and movement activities presented in easy-to-read outline form. Lifelike drawings and other visual aids accompany each activity along with information about the Dalcroze approach to rhythm, movement and music reading. Suzuki Method® favorites such as Twinkle and Go Tell Aunt Rhody serve as the basis for the various activities.
