In music, all of its major elements – melody, melodic contour, rhythm and phrasing, cadence points, accents, microvariations in timing and dynamics, and harmony among others – are informed by, and draw on, bodily processes. That is why Dalcroze’s seminal understanding of the role of the body and movement in music and musical pedagogy are so important to musicians, musical educators, and psychologists today.
