Description

Through group music making, and playful games that children love, students develop musical skill, understanding and literacy. This sequential approach develops children's musicianship and confidence. These skills will transfer to any instrument. Kodly students become strong readers, excellent singers, with well developed aural, coordination and memory skills and a lifelong passion for music.
