In this two-week course, Diane Gudat takes this sometimes dry and intimidating subject and injects it with fun and humor, so that you will be comfortable including it in your studio’s curriculum. It is designed to equip teachers with information for beginners through advanced students, in all subjects, with games and exercises for the classroom. This knowledge of music theory will aid students with musicality, synchronicity, and developing stronger attachment to the rhythms they are hearing. Time is spent on aiding the teacher in layering choreography, clearly expressing their rhythmic ideas and counting with confidence.
