Eurhythmics is one concept which begins with education in rhythm, the life force in nature, the inner pulse of humankind. Music education should be primarily concerned with stimulating, cultivating and preserving this heightened sense of rhythm. Any complication in meter must be heard and felt. It isn't mathematics that solves the problem, but the aural image plus its physical interpretation - a progression toward a goal that establishes a musical resolution. Rhythmic movement in response to intelligent and sensitive listening develops both tonal and rhythmic concepts, and thereby enhances deep understanding, enjoyment, and performance of music.
All music has rhythm.
It is movement heard, felt, and seen. Listening to Mozart's music and focusing on rhythm alone involves attention to complex elements that provide temporal cohesion in music and organizes and structures sounds in time. Rhythm embodies beat, pulse, accent, meter, duration, tempo, density, texture, form, and rhythmic patterns. If one were to listen to music with all these in mind, certainly the brain will be well stimulated. Yet musical elements go beyond rhythm to include melody, harmony, timbre, style, dynamics, meaning and emotion.
