OAKE Equity
Organization of American Kodály Educators
OAKE’s Commitment to Equity
"The members of OAKE are committed to championing diversity, welcoming all people, and advancing inclusivity and equity for all. Inspired by Zoltán Kodály’s unyielding assertion that music belongs to everyone, we affirm that music is a fundamental aspect of shared human experiences. As such, we pledge to promote active music-making merged with intentionally respectful practices as the basis of comprehensive music education."
We recognize that working to advance inclusivity and equity for all is ongoing work that we must do together.
