Kodály Teacher Institute3410 Taft BoulevardWichita Falls, Texas 76308

The Kodály concept is a philosophy of music education inspired by Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist, and educator Zoltán Kodály. It stresses singing as the foundation of children’s musical development. Based on the developmental

readiness of the child, the Kodály approach involves a sequential layering of skills and con-cepts designed to build success for every student. Instruction is based on multicultural folk song repertoire and art music and includes singing, dancing, game playing, improvisation, composition, and musical instruments. Comprehensive musicianship, music literacy, and love of music are the ultimate goals. Midwestern State University offers levels one, two, and three Kodály for continuing education and graduate credit.

Levels I, II, and II June 17 - June 28, 2013
