The Kodály Method
• Hungary
– Composer / Ethnomusicologist / Educator
• The Kodály Method
– Music literacy is something everyone can and
should enjoy
– Singing is the foundation of music education
– Music education must start young
– The folk songs of a child’s culture in his musical
mother tongue should be the vehicle for
instruction
– Music of the highest art value should be used in
teaching (folk and composed)
(Choksy, 1999)
