Gain a thorough initial understanding of the Kodály concept and a firm and in-depth grasp of the language of music via this online course from one of the most qualified people in the field. Familiarity with the language of music is not achieved via dry theory, but rather in a logical, easily followed and playful manner that is challenging at the same time. No musical instruments are needed, just your very own most primal one - your voice!
Who will benefit from this course?
Musicians and music teachers who wish to explore a way of learning/teaching music theory that is not arduous and boring, Kodály fans wishing to spice up their teaching, anyone who would like to to have the key to unlock the door to music literacy and those who dreamed of learning a musical instrument but were put off by the unavoidable but essential music theory.
With this online course you will gain solid ground to stand on should you choose to further your studies and deepen your knowledge about this world-renowned approach to music and music education.
Once purchased, the course can be watched unlimited times and for an unlimited time period, it's yours to keep!
The course comprises 5 video lessons (around 45 minutes each) with attached detailed learning objectives and outcomes, plus downloadable handout note sheets, solutions to written tasks given in the video lesson and a task sheet for further practice in some of the lessons. A short quiz at the end of each lesson helps evaluate your newly gained skills and knowledge.
The sessions build on one another, and therefore progress from one to the next requires watching the video lesson and passing the short quiz at the end with a pass grade of at least 50% (this can be re-taken as many times as needed).
A personalized "Certificate of Assessed Completion" for 5 hours of study will be issued immediately on successful completion of all five sessions.

I am passionate about the Kodály approach, and have dedicated pretty much all my adult life to music education and choir conducting, teaching children, adults and accomplished music educators. I am a tutor and trustee at the British Kodaly Academy, teaching at seminars and courses in the UK and worldwide, as well being a senior member of the CPD development team. I am also professional staff member at the Guildhall School of Music in London, teaching musicianship to children and running and conducting the children's choir. I cherish the opportunity to enable students, teachers, musicians and all Kodály practitioners to benefit from this online resource for high quality Kodály concept based lessons and courses.
