“I do Orff.” “I do Kodály.” “Are you using truly using the pedagogy, or just the tools?”
Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967)The Kodály Method • Hungary • Composer / Ethnomusicologist / Educator • The Kodály Method • Music literacy is something everyone can and should enjoy • Singing is the foundation of music education • Music education must start young • The folk songs of a child’s culture in his musical mother tongue should be the vehicle for instruction • Music of the highest art value should be used in teaching (folk and composed) (Choksy, 1999)
Classroom Application Of The Kodály Method • Curriculum: • Developmental • Spiraling and Sequential • Year Long Plan of Concept Presentation • Song Collections with Retrieval Systems • The Three P’s: • Prepare • Time to expose children to Kinesthetic, Aural and Visual activities using song literature that contains the new musical concept. • Present • The lesson in which the new concept is presented, using song material from the preview phase. Students are taught the aural and visual characteristics. • Practice • Students use already learned and new material to apply knowledge of the new concept. • Assessment (Choksy, 1999)

Carl Orff (1895-1982)Orff Schulwerk • Germany • Composer who wrote Carmina Burana (1937) • Worked Gunild Keetman • Orff Schulwerk (Schoolwork) • Exploration of melody and rhythm as learned through singing, movement, speech and playing instruments • Repertoire is folk based and student created • Emphasis on improvisation and “elemental” music • Simple and basic tools • Music learning comes naturally from child’s natural play • Known for using drama, barred instruments, recorders, song, speech and movement (Frazee, 1997)
Classroom Application of Orff Schulwerk • Curriculum: • Developmental • Sequential • Based on Student’s Work and Play • Phases of Musical Development • Imitation • Students learn tools and build their musical vocabulary from teacher models. • Exploration • Students explore using the newly learned concepts. • Improvisation • Using what has been learned, students improvise within guidelines to move towards the next phase. • Creation • Students use elemental tools (simple forms, melodies, rhythms) to create a final performance piece that might include movement, drama, speech, singing and playing instruments.
