british kodály academy
The British Kodály Academy promotes the advancement of British music education,
following the teachings of Zoltán Kodály. The Kodály Approach – musicianship
through singing – provides tools to develop fundamentals such as pulse, inner
hearing, good tuning and sight reading ability. It’s said to be life-changing!
Zoltán Kodály Courses are available for everyone wanting to develop their own
singing, musicianship and conducting skills, whilst teachers are helped to
develop skills and confidence to deliver music lessons at all levels: Early
Years, KS1, KS2, KS3 and beyond – to Higher Education and Instrumental teaching.
The structured, sequential learning process is based on an understanding of how
musical skills and concepts are absorbed through practical activity and singing,
using appropriate repertoire – from simple children’s songs to complex art
music. Cecelia VajdaThe British Kodály Academy was founded by Cecilia Vajda.
