Eurhythmics Classes for Senior Citizens. 3 - 4:30 p.m., Margaret Morrison Carnegie Hall 119. Annabelle Joseph, director of the Marta Sanchez Dalcroze Training Center at the School of Music, is recruiting active senior citizens (15 people aged 65 and over) to participate in classes in Dalcroze Eurhythmics, a method that engages brain and body in response to music. Maintaining mental alertness and agility is essential as we age. Four areas of learning: physical, cognitive, social and emotional are involved in this process. All four areas are at play in a Dalcroze Eurhythmics class as together we experience the joy of music. Participants should be mobile and able to attend four afternoon sessions July 2, 3 and July 9,10. Contact Joseph to register at aj12@andrew.cmu.edu.
