Beth,
Eurythmy is actually speech made visible according to anthroposophy.

That is interesting we got a shortened version of it and it was all just
presented as fun games to teach math and other skills (it was watered down
so as not to overwhelm regular ps teachers who they are training guess they
figure we wouldn't want to learn the deeper meaning behind it) Have you done
a lot of this with your daughter and how?

Actually I haven't. Eurythmy can really only be taught by someone trained
in this for 4 years and then another 1-2 years to teach in a school. It is
really an in depth artform.

Linda, they don't have quite that rigid philosophy at Sunbridge College as
they are trying to bring it to kids in the ps system and are doing it
successfully in the inner city so I would imagine hschoolers could
incorporate some of what they do understand and can relate to (or spend
money trying to find someone to teach it!) The ps teacher trainer was a
trained Eurythmy teacher who decided to bring this way of learning to the ps
school they had the funding for it in the inner city and apparently it has
made a big difference there. I think Detroit but I could be wrong. I forgot
her name and the city but they were also doing it also in Manhattan but can
try and find my notes. It was a real eye opener as to how music and rhythm
and movement can be used to develop the mind and body at the same time. Even
though it was obvious that her training was quite extensive it seemed to me
that anyone with a music, movement or dance background could really pick up
on it and use it with their children. Even on the most elementary level. I
dabbled in all the Waldorf stuff they taught esp. storytelling and painting
so I didn't pay as much attention but the songs I learned from that
wonderful teacher are still in my brain.
The concepts of integrating the whole person to teach or learn are
fascinating to me. When I went to college @Lesley Graduate school I did
study Integrating the Arts into the Curriculum. It has always been important
to me. It certainly doesn't have to be limited to a Waldorf subject such as
Eurythmy. Mara's example just reminded me of what I had seen/experienced
when I was there. Are there any Eurythmy teachers who would work with
hschoolers to your knowledge? I am sure they are in high demand.

There are not any nearby Eurythmy teachers here in CT. When we travelled
for 2 years to RI emma had eurythmy there. I also took eurythmy at
Sunbridge, Antioch and The Rudolf Steiner Institute the summers that I
went...even had a eurythmy for puppeteers that I took. I brought some
movement games to emma when she was little but haven't done anything with it
since. She is an incredible mover and a beautiful dancer. It's funny, last
week I said to her...you know Emma...a could area that you might like to
pursue when you're older is to become a eurythmist...it's so interesting
that you're bringing all this up right now. I went to look at some of the
sites on the WISH webpage and it is very nice. I would say that if you
wanted to follow a waldorf education at home that I would go with what
Live!Education is offering instead of Oak Meadow. I hadn't seen what they
were doing as Emma hadn't been interested in any structure and we've let her
pursue her own interests mostly. She is such a strong, creative and
imaginative child. I feel that those early years with a strong waldorf base
is what really contributed to all this in her.
