INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE

to present concepts from various points of view. It also includes sample
lesson plans, class activities, and a test bank with sample questions.

Help your students discover the music in their movements! Rhythmic
Training for Dancers and its companion CD-ROM, An Interactive Guide to Music for Dancers, will benefit any person who wants to gain a better
understanding of the language of music, the kinetics of rhythm, and the
poetics of sound.

This text and CD-ROM package helps dancers develop a better understanding of musical time and phrasing that directly corresponds with their dance activities. Students will learn basic concepts of musical time as they apply to dance technique and choreography, and they'll become aware of how they use musical time intuitively in their own dancing. They'll also explore rhythmic theory from a musician's perspective and investigate expressive soundscapes, aural textures, and rhythm through vocal and body percussion workshops. The companion CD-ROM translates the concepts into movement and sound with more than 300 audio examples and 80 video clips.

Rhythmic Training for Dancers isn't just theory; it will help students learn to apply the basic skills and principles of rhythmic musicianship to dance.
