Since the mid-twentieth century, Zoltan Kodaly's
child-developmental philosophy for teaching music has had
significant positive impact on music education around the world,
and is now at the core of music teaching in the United States and
other English speaking countries. The Kodaly Today handbook series
is the first comprehensive system to update and apply the Kodaly
concepts to teaching music in elementary school classrooms. Kodaly
in the First Grade Classroom provides teachers with a step-by-step
road map for developing children's performance, creative movement,
and literacy skills in an organic and thoughtful manner. Through
six years of field-testing with music kindergarten teachers in the
United States, Great Britain, and Hungary (the home country of
Zoltan Kodaly), authors Micheal Houlahan and Philip Tacka have
developed a methodology specifically for 21st century classrooms.
Houlahan and Tacka use the latest research findings in cognition
and perception to create a system not only appropriate for the
developmental stages of first grade students but also one which
integrates vertically between elementary music classes. The methods
outlined in this volume encourage greater musical ability and
creativity in children by teaching them to sing, move, play
instruments, and develop music literacy skills. In addition, Kodaly
in the First Grade Classroom promotes critical thinking, problem
solving, and collaboration skills. Although the book uses the
Kodaly philosophy, its methodology has also been tested by teachers
certified in Orff and Dalcroze, and has proven an essential guide
for teachers no matter what their personal philosophy and specific
training might be. Numerous children's songs are incorporated into
Kodaly in the First Grade Classroom, as well as over 35 detailed
lesson plans that demonstrate how music and literacy curriculum
goals are transformed into tangible musical objectives. Scholarly
yet practical and accessible, this volume is sure to be an
essential guide for kindergarten and early childhood music teachers
everywhere.
