MED 550 - Kodaly Institute Level I Institute

The Kodaly Institute will provide students with tools necessary to become competent in music literacy. The Kodaly approach is a dynamic, exciting way to teach and learn based on the developmental readiness of the child. The process involves a sequential layering of skills and concepts designed to build success for every child. The course objectives include: understanding of rhythm syllables; melodic and harmonic understanding developed through the use of solfege syllables in the moveable do system; interval training, and hand signs. Students will be engaged in singing, instrument playing, improvisation, composing and arranging, reading and notating, analyzing, and evaluating. Comprehensive music literacy is the goal.
