"News & Events - Kodály Institute, Kecskemét, Hungary"

For years now, every February the British Kodály Academy has arranged a three-day long study tour to the Kodály Institute of the Liszt Academy of Music, Kecskemét. The primary goal of the course is to acquaint participants with the practice of Hungarian music education based on the music educational principles of Zoltán Kodály through lesson observations at schools. To supplement these observations, workshops and lectures are held by the internationally acknowledged master teachers of the Kodály Institute.

This year the Kodály Institute welcomes twenty-six British music pedagogues led by Lucinda Geoghegan, teacher of the National Youth Choir of Scotland and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Lucinda Geoghegan is a member and visiting lecturer of both the British Kodály Academy and of the Kodály Institute, Kecskemét. Due to the increased number of participants as compared to previous years, the length of the course has been expanded from three days to a week and will be held partly in Budapest, partly in Kecskemét. The theme of the course is early childhood music education, and it will be led by the leading Hungarian expert in the field: the world renowned Helga Dietrich.
