KM 953 - Kodály Materials, Level II

(1-3.00 cr.)

Restricted to Kodály music program students. Participants research, collect, and learn American rhymes, folk songs, and singing games that support Kodály methodology for grades three to four. They apply the principles of folk song analysis to expand their retrieval systems to include repertoire for the intermediate grades and organize their materials for the sequential teaching of vocal, melodic, rhythmic, formal, and part-singing skills. They also learn basic principles of accompanying children's singing with folk instruments, with an emphasis on playing the folk guitar.
