I've just tried using choreography in my beginners class to teach musicality for the first time this term (in the past I've mostly done short combos and structured improvisation) - I've put together a simple choreography to the first minute and a bit of an instrumental version of Alf Leyla, incorporating moves and transitions that I want them to practise. We'll probably keep practising and polishing the same short section for the rest of the term, and adding extra layers as they become comfortable with it.
So far I'm happy with how it's working, although it's too soon to tell for sure if it's improving their musicality... I'm trying to explain as we go along why I've used certain moves where I have, and which elements of the music we're picking out, so hopefully some of it will sink in
