In the process of collecting folk songs, he noticed some problems in music teaching, and developed Zoltan Kodaly's music teaching method, emphasizing that music education is an indispensable part of life and an inherent right of human beings. At the same time, the relative pitch, Hungarian pentatonic scale and the significance of teaching materials are emphasized in teaching methods, and they are cultivated by sign language and rhythm language.
Zoltan Kodaly didn't write a teaching method, he just strongly put forward the concept and future development direction of Hungarian music education. 1. Music education is the development that a complete person needs.
Music is the birthright of every child, not the privilege of some musical geniuses.
Sound is the best teaching tool, because it is free and available.
It is best for children to understand from their own experiences, so participation is the best way to learn music.
Only the best is suitable for children. He means that the best music material is folk songs sung in the mother tongue.
6. Singing must be unaccompanied, just like traditional national singing.
7. Children's music education depends on their instructors, so they must be the best musicians and educators.
Teaching music and singing in a good way at school is a pleasure for children, not torture. Will inject their enthusiasm for better music into their hearts, and this enthusiasm will last for a lifetime.
It is a great thing to open the ears and hearts of millions of people to the solemn music.
10. What children learn here (at school) will never be forgotten, which will become the light and blood of their lives.
The teaching methods developed in Hungary are basically based on Zoltan Kodaly's educational philosophy. 1. The method of relative pitch or initial sound naming has been fully developed in traditional English chorus training, because it can point out the role of tone and harmony.
2. Most Hungarian folk songs are pentatonic, so early music training adopted pentatonic.
3. Elaborate musical ideas and materials come not from knowledge, but from the meaning to children. Proceeding from the above principles, in Zoltan Kodaly's music teaching method, in order to get a set of methods, he used the following two tools:
1.handsign, 1986 was founded by JohnCurwen in Britain.
2. Rhythm language, basically from France.
In a word, the purpose of music education in Zoltan Kodaly is to make students regard learning music as a kind of enjoyment, not torture, and inject their desire for music into their lives.
