Abstract:
This publication represents a collection and record of papers and abstracts which are a permanent and visible record of research about Dalcroze emanating from Australia in a form which is readily accessible. There are a number of reasons for doing this. Firstly, there is a need to unravel the story of how Dalcroze spread to the South Pacific region. Many of the papers in this collection tell for the first time of the early Dalcroze teachers in both Australia and New Zealand. Secondly, we need to acknowledge the talents, the courage and the work of teachers in earlier times, many of whom were women who often worked in isolation and in difficult economic and social environments. Finally, due to the practical nature of Dalcroze eurhythmics, there has long been a perception of a bias against literacy amongst teachers of the method, which this publication seeks to address.
