In each Dalcroze class, I give a short warm-up at the beginning. The focus is usually on some kind of movement technique, and I often use the warm-up to provide an introduction to the musical subject of the day (for example beat and division, syncopation, simple triple meter,<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__more-text\"><a class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/joviala.com\/jovialaworks\/what-will-1st-2nd-graders-experience-in-a-dalcroze-class-part-1-of-4\/\">read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"wp-block-post post-10688 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-dalcroze-reference tag-1st-2nd-grade tag-children tag-curricula\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-post-title\">1st-2nd Grade Dalcroze Skills and Experiences: Rhythm (Part 2 of 4)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Second in a series of posts describing what a typical class might cover during the year.
