The purpose of this research is to explore the response of intermediate adolescent flute students on their experience with the Dalcroze approach. The development of their expressive skills is also measured to see the effectiveness of this approach while learning a new piece. The Dalcroze approach is heavily emphasized on embodiment in music education and also stands on the idea of using movement to develop musicianship and expressivity.
This research offers a description of the students’ responses to the exercises that were designed for them based on Dalcroze approach. This study also intends to examine the effects of Dalcroze on their expressive skills and how it can be incorporated in the way they learn a new piece of music in the future.
