The
work of Zoltán Kodály and his pupils in Hungary resulted in a dynamic
process of music education, which has deep relevance for music training and
school teaching in Britain today.
"Inspirational teaching - I loved every minute of it" (quote from a course participant).
The Summer School courses include training in musicianship, classroom teaching, conducting, choral singing, and workshops on relevant topics. It provides a perfect introduction to all aspects of teaching and learning music. Tuition is given by leading experts in the field of music education from Britain and Hungary.
The Summer School is open to anyone interested in developing their own musical capability and, if a teacher, in using Kodály-related ideas in their teaching. Classes are available for the complete beginner (for example, students with no formal music training) through to professional musicians and teachers who are looking for new insights to further their expertise.
All students will receive a Certificate of Attendance from the British
Kodály Academy, signed by the BKA President.
See our 'Professional Development' page
for details of the Professional Development Certificate Courses also
available at the Summer School.
