Learn how to give children of all ages the gift of musical independence by teaching them how to hear, sing,, read and write music. The Kodály Concept of music education is based on the work of Hungarian composer, philosopher and music educator, Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967). It is now used widely throughout the world to develop musicianship in children and adults. The UNT Kodály faculty members are committed to training participants how to teach music literacy skills in a joyful, sequential manner using quality music literature. The tools used in the Kodály approach include moveable-do solfège, Curwen hand signs, and rhythmic duration syllables. Musical materials include traditional children’s songs, games and rhymes, authentic folk music from America and around the world, and art music of master composers. Study will include: Personal Musicianship, Conducting Practicum; Kodály Pedagogy; Folk Music Materials and Research; and Ensemble Participation, as well as a variety of Special Topics. Learn how to create developmentally appropriate activities, materials, and strategies to ensure success for you and your students.
