Brandon University’s School of Music<\/a>, with support from Kod\u00e1ly in Manitoba, is privileged to sponsor a conference celebrating the Kod\u00e1ly Method from historical and current perspectives. What is now known world-wide as The Kod\u00e1ly Method began in Hungary during the middle of the last century. Edna Knock<\/a> and Bea Finta<\/a> both studied in Hungary and brought these progressive ideas for music education to Canada. We are excited for this opportunity to learn from them. During the Friday evening session, these well-regarded music educators will reminisce on their experiences with the Kod\u00e1ly method. On Saturday, Bea will highlight Kod\u00e1ly in professional practice and Edna will share her expertise in folk song analysis.<\/p>\n
We are pleased to have Jody<\/a> and David Stark<\/a> join our commemoration of Kod\u00e1ly Music Education. Jody will explain how the tenets of Kod\u00e1ly\u2019s philosophy for music education are appropriate for today\u2019s classrooms. David will lead us through a variety of music-making experiences that celebrate the pedagogy and musicianship experiences inherent to Kod\u00e1ly-inspired teaching.<\/p>\n
I hope you are able to join us as we journey through the past and into the future of music education in Manitoba and across Canada.<\/p>\n
Warm regards,<\/p>\n
