What is music and movement education / rhythmics?
Our body is our primal instrument. We use it to feel, hear, see and experience the world.
Music and movement education/rhythmics combines music and body/movement/dance and aims to develop and differentiate musical and motor skills. The interaction between music and
movement forms the basis for creative design and learning processes. As an integrative and transdisciplinary subject area, MBP/rhythmics has music education, movement education, social
education, general education as well as inclusion and curative education content and goals.
