Master of Music in Music Education

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:

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