The Kodály Concept
Darren Wicks
 |
The Kodály concept is an approach to music education that “strives to achieve a synthesis of all the skills necessary to develop complete musicianship” (Bacon, 1993, p.75) and to cultivate a love and appreciation for music that is supported by understanding and direct musical experience (Choksy, 1999a). The approach was inspired by the philosophies of the Hungarian composer and educator, Zoltan Kodály (1882 – 1967). |
The Kodály concept encompases two key elements.
1. A philosophical approach to teaching music, and
2. A unique course of sequential musical instruction (Bacon, 1993).
