Course Detail: The Kodaly concept is a

sing, play recorder, improvise, compose, and analyze. Comprehensive
music literacy is the ultimate goal.
Principally designed for music teacher and others who work with
vocal music, this course will provide participants learning through
hands-on experience. This course will address Kodaly pedagogy and
the creation, gathering and analysis of musical materials. Taken
together with Kodaly Workshop- Level 1(Solfege) and Kodaly
