Abstract
Several authors have noted that one of Émile Jaques-Dalcroze’si
aims was to dissolve the
mind-body dualism, typical of Cartesianism. However, there has been little research on the
spirit-body connection, as it appears in Jaques-Dalcroze’s writings. The purpose of this
document analysis is to understand how a hermeneutic phenomenological model for
spirituality in music education (Van der Merwe & Habron, 2015) can inform our
understanding of spirituality in selected writings by Jaques-Dalcroze. In the adapted model
holism, balance, aesthetic experience, and movement in time, space and with energy emerged
as core concepts. We conclude with suggestions for how we might teach for spirituality in
Dalcroze Eurhythmics contexts, based on the findings.
