Kodály Approach

The Kodály Approach is a method of teaching music that emphasizes singing, musical literacy, and the use of familiar, meaningful songs. Developed by Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály, it uses step-by-step techniques like singing, rhythmic exercises, and hand signs to develop students’ pitch, rhythm, and musical understanding. The approach often involves singing simple songs in a group to build a strong musical foundation, making music learning accessible and engaging for students of all ages. It values cultural relevance and active participation, fostering a lifelong appreciation and ability to read and perform music confidently.
