The first level of Kodály Music Education philosophy and pedagogy is designed for teachers with beginning music students. The course is designed for music teachers, choir directors, music education majors, and classroom teachers with a music background.

METHODOLOGY I emphasizes the sequential teaching of musical elements and techniques of preparing, presenting, and practicing musical concepts and skills using folk song materials to bridge understanding to classical music. Students will gain experience in developing lessons that contain activities such as singing, listening, moving, creating, reading, and writing music. A set of sequential lesson plans is developed.

SOLFEGE I is designed to increase the teacher’s musicianship skills and includes an introduction to and familiarity with the pentatonic scale system (using moveable DO) through ear training, sight-singing, music dictation, interval study, and arranging simple folk songs.

CHORAL ENSEMBLE further develops individual musicianship skills through the singing and conducting of challenging adult repertoire encompassing various genres. All summer course students participate in daily rehearsals.
