Kodaly and Education Matters
Donald Macleod focuses on Kodaly's role as a music educationalist and on his legacy in general.
Kod谩ly's life was, to an unique extent, dedicated to the music education of the Hungarian people. Donald Macleod discusses his legacy with David Vinden.
"It is our firm conviction that mankind will live the happier when it has learned to live with music more worthily. Whoever works to promote this end, in one way or another, has not lived in vain." The words of Zolt谩n Kod谩ly: a composer whose commitment to the celebration of his nation's culture, and the education of his nation's children, was virtually unparalleled. In the closing programme of this week's series, Donald Macleod talks to Kod谩ly scholar and teacher David Vinden about Kod谩ly's role as a music educationalist, and about how his much f锚ted teaching 'method' works.
