About her experimental work:
"When I began my research, my main motivation was to
find the way where piano teaching means music teaching, where
improving of hearing and developing musical intellect is the
principal aim besides improving technical skills. To achiee
this purpose in the pedagogical practice, Kodály's principles
(leading role of singing, suitable music material, establishing
music reading as a skill) and Kurtág's "Games" (written
for piano) were guiding me in my conception. my program contains
vocal (singing games) and instrumental (Kurtág's "Games")
material.
The two musical activities are bound together in Zoltán Kodály's
works written for pedagogical purpose (12 little piano pieces,
24 small canons on the black keys). The singing games and Kurtág's
"Games" are also the basis of the process, in the
course of which the road our pupils cover from their most ancient
instinct, playing games to piano as an intellectual activity,
becomes quite clear."
