Abstract
This study examined the perception of “Dalcroze Eurhythmics” by skilled teachers using a text mining method. The interviews of 10 skilled Eurythmic teachers about the “Dalcroze Eurhythmics method” (already recorded on a DVD) were used as data. The transcript was made from the DVD, and descriptions were analysed by KH Coder software. First, the KH Corder extracted frequent words from the descriptions of the interviews. It was found that the words “Eurythmics” “Dalcroze” “'Music” appeared frequently in the interviews. Next, a cluster analysis was performed and 8 clusters were found. The 8 clusters were named : “Eurhythmics, Music and Movement” “Improvisation as Creative Performances” “The relationship between the piano and dance” “The experience through the body” “The feature of method” “Plastique Animée an eurythmic expression to communicate movement to others” “Getting qualified” “The impact of Eurythmics”. The results showed that the eurythmic teachers mainly talked about practicing Eurythmics as personal experiences through music, movement, and the mind, Eurythmics transformed their attitudes towards music, Eurythmics enhanced their personal abilities.
