Hungarian composer, musician, and educator Zoltán Kodály believed that only the best is good enough for children. The Kodály concept is an experience-based approach to teaching that leads to the development of basic musical skills and music literacy using resources from the folk heritage of students’ educational population. When students are taught by highly skilled teachers, they become adept at creating and interpreting music in such a way that they can be lifelong participants and contributors in music.
