40th Anniversary Celebration Program 7/24/08 - 7/26/08
Panels:
HNU Kodály Center History
Sr. Mary Alice Hein, Erzsébet Hegyi, Toni Locke
Moderator: Anne Laskey
With the existence of diverse ethno-linguistic groups in many countries and of course in the Philippines, the question could be posed whether the Kodály Concept can truly be successful in schools where students are a product of diverse cultural backgrounds. The lecture, which includes a video-clip presentation, will discuss multiculturalism and how countries wishing to adapt the Kodály Concept have dealt with the issue.
The initial search resulted in the discovery of a collection of field recordings which had been given to the University of Queensland in the 1950s and promptly forgotten. This paper gives some of the detail of how that collection is being collated and analysed.
The composition unites marvelously the 16th century text with Kodály's 20th century Hungarian melodic world. The Rondo-theme appears 6 times with different variations. The Episodes sounding between the Rondo-themes have a certain relationship with the principal melody but still accomodate to the text. Our aim is to become acquainted with the theme and with the Episode-melodies and formal construction of the piece through active singing.

Sarolta Platthy
Presentation of the DVD published by the Foundation for the Kecskemét Kodály Institute in 2007. The DVD contains a representative selection of demonstration class videos from kindergarten to secondary school and methodology lessons.
Bringing the Joy of Kodály to Spanish Speakers in the Americas
Lydia Mills and Arwen L. de Castellanos
Lydia and Arwen will discuss the makings of a Latin American Kodály movement. Two facets will be considered: both to make available appropriate children’s songs and games in Spanish for Kodály teachers in the US with Spanish speaking students as well as to help instigate a Kodály movement in Latin America.
Smithsonian Global Sound
Rita Klinger
We will tour a small portion of music of the world's cultures on SGS- Smithsonian Global Sound website. We will examine a lesson template for world music cultures and challenge ourselves to explore the challenges and possibilities presented when attempting to apply Kodaly's pedagogical principles to musics that do not necessarily meet our traditional criteria of materials leading to music literacy.
Zoltán Kodály and Shinichi Suzuki
Caroline Fraser
Zoltán Kodály and Shinichi Suzuki shared a common vision: a better world through music. This presentation will demonstrate, with student performances and activities, how their approaches to music education can be integrated in instrumental teaching.
Hearing in Color: Case Studies of Musicians with Absolute Pitch
Ivy Ward
Individuals with absolute pitch identify pitches by their "chroma," or tonal color. While it is relative pitch that is indispensable to understanding music, a look into the world of those with absolute pitch gives us additional insights into how music is perceived and invites us to reflect on how music is taught.
