The method used in this study is quantitative methods with data collection techniques. The result of this study is the Eurythmics Dalcroze method can increase students’ knowledge of rhythm patterns. The results showed an increase after students were given PowerPoint speakers and YouTube videos about rhythm patterns using the eurythmics Dalcroze method online through zoom with educators.
