MUSI 559 - Kodaly Teacher Training Level 3

Overview
MUSI 559: Kodaly III. 3 credits
Level III Kodály training is based on the building blocks provided in Levels I and II; both levels are a pre-requisite to this class.
In Level III, students concentrate on the teaching of folk and art song material for grades 5 and up. Working in the diatonic scale in major and minor, as well as in modes, students complete their training as well-rounded musicians and stellar teachers. Each student must submit a video of themselves teaching in their own classroom for review. The Level III pedagogy class is then an opportunity to make any weaknesses into strengths prior to final certification.
Students complete their entire Kodály Retrieval System, consisting of a minimum of 100 analyzed folk songs, games and art songs appropriate for grades K – 8 (and up). This final project is a product of three years of work in folk song analysis and research. In addition, each Level III student conducts in our final concert prior to receiving their Kodály Certificate from our OAKE endorsed program. Many of our GMU students are earning their Master’s Degree by taking this course as well.
