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. Kodaly in theKindergarten
Classroom is the first comprehensive handbook to update and apply
the Kodaly concepts to teaching music in early childhood
classrooms.
Kodaly in the Kindergarten 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 kindergarteners' particular developmental stages but also one
which integrates vertically between kindergarten and elementary
music classes. The methods outlined in this volume encourage
greater musical ability and creativity in children by teaching
kindergarteners to sing, move, play instruments, and develop music
literacy skills. In addition, Kodaly in the Kindergarten 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.
Over 100 children's books are incorporated into Kodaly in the
Kindergarten Classroom, as well as 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."
