Our logo centers on the infinity symbol, representing music as an eternal, universal language. It symbolizes love, unity, balance, and harmony. As we journey forward together, the logo reminds us that we are a collective voice—stronger as a team—working toward our shared mission and vision.
OAKE Mission
Inspired by the vision of Zoltán Kodály, the mission of OAKE and the San Diego Kodály Chapter of OAKE is to support music education of the highest quality, promote universal music literacy and lifelong music making, and preserve the musical heritage of the people of the United States of America through education, artistic performance, advocacy and research.
Kodály, the Educator and Humanist - Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967), prominent Hungarian composer and musician, directed a significant portion of his creative endeavors to the musical education of the Hungarian nation-an interest which developed over many years.
Our Vision is the realization of a world where the power of music is a unifying, humanizing, and healing force is an integral part of the lives of all beings.
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.
OAKE operates as a trade organization, comprised of volunteers and is guided by the following structures: Robert’s Rules of Order, Bylaws, Standing Rules, a Code of Ethics, and Conflicts of Interest rules. These foundational structures guide the OAKE Board of Directors who are representatives of its members.
