Eurhythmics, as the core component of Dalcroze's music education system, takes the deep integration of body movement and music elements as the core characteristic, and provides an innovative practice paradigm for basic music teaching. Based on the core guidance of the art curriculum standard for compulsory education (2022 Edition), combined with the empirical research experience of music teaching in basic education, we can clearly sort out the core values of eurhythmics in activating learning interest, deepening music perception, cultivating core literacy and other dimensions, clarify the cognitive bias and practical obstruction in the current teaching application, and then build targeted application paths and guarantee strategies. Practical verification shows that eurhythmics can effectively improve students' enthusiasm and perception accuracy in music learning, and its scientific application needs to rely on the three core aspects of accurate anchoring of teaching objectives, adaptation to different learning stages and improvement of teachers' quality, so as to provide solid practical support for upgrading the quality of basic music teaching.
