KM 852 - Kodály Methodology, Level I

(1-3.00 cr.)

Restricted to Kodály music program students. A sequential, child-developmental approach to vocal music pedagogy for American children in preschool through grade two is presented. Participants are introduced to the philosophy and practices inspired by Zoltan Kodály, as well as the principles of music learning theory developed through the research of Dr. Edwin Gordon. They learn to plan and teach a curriculum, based largely on the use of American folk songs, that leads children to musicianship and musical literacy. Teachers learn techniques for developing in their students music readiness, good vocal production, in-tune singing, aural discrimination, rhythm skills (via movement), beginning skills in the use of solfa and rhythm syllables, and the foundations of music notation and reading.
