About The Kodály Approach

The Kodály philosophy of music education centers around folk song as the root of a child’s musical experience and the central pathway to musical learning, and also incorporates movement and socialization activities such as dance to engage students with their peers. The values of the Kodály approach include:

  • Every child has a right to musical literacy
  • Singing is the basic act of music-making and is supported by movement, listening, dance, and instrumental performance
  • The folk music of a nation is a primary source of musical repertoire
  • Musical instruction must be systematic, developmentally appropriate, creative, and organized in an explicit sequence from experience to concept, and concept to practical application

Absolutely! The Kodály Concept of music education is beneficial and directly applicable for teachers in instrumental classrooms. While many program participants teach in general and choral classrooms, each year a good number of teachers who teach in instrumental settings participate in the program in pursuit of their Master of Music and/or their OAKE endorsed Kodály Certificate. This number has increased in recent years, as more instrumental teachers are drawn to the core tenents of the Kodály method to music education. One recent student created a curriculum for 5th grade band based entirely upon the Kodály Concept. She has presented her work at numerous state and national conferences.

Ethan Zick, a WI based educator and recent program graduate, said this: What surprised me about this program was its relevance to my teaching in instrumental music. Whether in band or orchestra, understanding the Kodály method through this program allows the instructor to fully understand the value of familiar, approachable folk music in educational repertoire. The instructor is also able to help students better understand the functionality of pitches and melody as opposed to arbitrarily matching notes to fingerings, which I find especially important for beginning students. This program overall has given me a deeper understanding of how instrumental students can understand their music at a more meaningful level.

Master of Music in Music Education – Kodály emphasis students and Kodály Certificate students need to submit official transcripts from their undergraduate degree conferring institution.

History of the Program

The Kodály Summer Graduate Music program moved to Lakeland University from Holy Family College (formerly Silver Lake College of the Holy Family) where it was begun by Sister Lorna Zemke. Sister Lorna began her career working alongside Katinka Daniel on a Kodály pilot program in Santa Barbara, CA. She went on to become an initial founder of the Organization of American Kodály Educators, Midwest Kodály Music Educators of America, and Association of Wisconsin Area Kodály Educators. Sister Lorna directed the Kodály Summer Graduate Music program at Holy Family College for more than 40 years. Check out the links below to learn more.

While still housed at Holy Family College in 2014, the Kodály Certification program came under the direction of Dr. John Feierabend. Dr. Feierabend taught in the program for more than 40 years and retired from the program in 2022. Lakeland continues to offer affiliated with the Feierabend Association for Music Education as a part of its Special Topics/Workshop course offerings.

The program’s legacy of bringing leading faculty from around the globe each summer continues to this day. By enrolling in this program, students build on a rich legacy that can trace its roots back to Sister Lorna, Katinka Daniel, and even Zoltan Kodály. Be a part of history.
