Bethan James

Bethan James is a freelance musician based in Manchester. After working for some years as a violinist she went on to study a music education method called Dalcroze Eurhythmics at the Institute Jaques-Dalcroze in Geneva.

This way of learning about music teaches the basic concepts and theory of music as a physical experience whilst also addressing issues such as balance, co-ordination, use of space, an ability to adapt quickly, awareness of others, and the development of imagination and creativity.
