Rhythmic Movement and Public School Music Education: Conservative and Progressive Views of the Formative Years.

Campbell, Patricia Shehan

Journal of Research in Music Education, v39 n1 p12-22 Spr 1991

Traces the history of the infusion of rhythmic movement into preschool and elementary school music programs. Contrasts a progressive approach which taught that movement was essential in teaching music and a conservative view that rhythmic response was genetically determined and could not be developed through training.
