About this exposition

About this exposition Two years ago I visited music lessons in the Kodály Iskola in Kecskemét (Hungary). While I was sitting in the back of the classroom, twenty-five children (age 7) walked in while singing a song. During the music lesson all the children sang in tune, were continuously involved, were motivated to sing on their own and were enjoying the class. I was impressed about the way these children were making music. They performed music with quality and care. The children were reading music almost at the same level as they read and write language. In this school, music lessons belong to the regular curriculum and are as normal as mathematics or history. There, music belongs to the development of the human being. In what way is the music teacher teaching these children, so that they became this highly-skilled in music? And could this way of teaching music be adapted to other countries, for example to the Netherlands? In this research I would like to find answers for suitable musical repertoire, teaching strategies, methodology and teaching tools to develop a sequence for teaching rhythm notation.
