Chairman of the Cleveland Institute of Music Eurhythmics Department retires after four decades
David Brown fell in love with Dalcroze Eurhythmics, a method of music instruction that focuses on rhythm and movement, when he came to the Cleveland Institute of Music as a student in the early 1960s. Each week he teaches the method to 300 students.

Dalcroze Eurhythmics sharpens your sense of rhythm. You take off your shoes and move your body. Students from pre-school to the conservatory stomp, hop, skip, tap and clap, to solve rhythmic puzzles. British pop star Annie Lennox and Cleveland rocker Eric Carmen swear by the Eurhythmics they took as toddlers. And it's always been a required course for performance majors at the Cleveland Institute of Music. This month, the barefoot professor who has headed the Institute's Dalcroze Eurhythmics department for almost half a century is retiring.

The youngest Dalcroze Eurythmics students at the Cleveland Institute of Music are pre-schoolers. But all conservatory students who are performance majors must take the course for at least two semesters.
David Brown was initially reluctant about teaching Dalcroze to younger students but they soon became his favorites.
David Brown, Chairman of the Eurhythmics Department at the Cleveland Institute of Music studied at the Institut Jacques Dalcroze, Geneva, Switzerland. He is the organist/choirmaster of Euclid Avenue Christian Church and a member of the Dalcroze Society of America and the american Guild of Organists.
