National Conference 2026

AES supports and promotes Eurhythmics as a model for music and movement education in schools in North America because this model offers active and creative music making for all children. Further, Eurhythmics develops musicianship through singing, improvising, and purposeful and creative movement. Active music making is the core of this philosophy, supporting both the conceptual and affective development of children. Active learners develop a thorough, long-term understanding of the material and concepts they are studying. Children who regularly improvise and create their own movements and musical settings are exceptionally well prepared to solve problems in many other contexts.

Join us for a day-and-a-half of workshop sessions on how to incorporate purposeful movement, improvisation, Solfège Rythmique, interactive stories, and Plastique Animée to increase student attention, concentration, social integration, and understanding of musical nuance in a variety of teaching contexts! Sessions will be led by Master Teaching Artists in Eurhythmics, and local chapters.
