WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A CSMI KODÁLY COURSE?
Zoltan Kodály said that music teachers should be two things:
• The best possible musicians
• The best possible teachers
Both of those things, musicianship and teaching skills, are
crucial to good teaching. The CSMI Kodály courses address both
of those needs with four areas of study:
1. Materials, where participants learn the principles
of folk song analysis and create a retrieval
system to organize teaching materials;
2. Pedagogy, where students take those materials
and create masterful lesson plans that maximize
student learning in an enjoyable manner;
3. Musicianship, where participants develop their personal
musicianship and ability to use the pedagogical
tools of movable-do solfa and rhythm syllables;
4. Choral Studies, where participants sing in a choir,
intended to create a top-level choral experience and
receive instruction on conducting techniques.
And unlike most Kodály training courses, a Biblical view of
music will permeate everything you hear and see. We will set
aside specific times to learn about the role of music in a Christian
and classical education.
