Teacher training based in the Kodály approach to music education.
Kodály teacher training consists of different facets: musicianship, methodology, teaching materials, practical application, choir conducting and ensemble participation. These facets combined create confident teachers, equipped with excellent musical skills and methodological practises.
Practical
The Kodály approach to music education was developed in Hungary during the mid-twentieth century by renowned music educator and composer, Zoltán Kodály. This interactive, collaborative, and highly kinaesthetic method focuses on developing the musical ear and advancing overall musicianship. With its folk music foundation and creative integration of a movable “do” solfège-system, hand signs, and the belief that the voice is the most accessible universal instrument, this vibrant and hands-on approach to learning music is used worldwide for musicians of all levels and ages.
All music teachers with a drive to learn whether you are an instrumental, vocal, classroom or choral music educator. We present a range of levels for educators to choose from, as well as different modules in Musicianship, Methodology, Conducting and Choir. Teachers who attend the course will receive SACE accreditation.
