At 28 I wove together my love for children and my love for music and earned my Master’s in Music Education with an emphasis in Kodály at Holy Names University.🎓
Learning about Zoltán Kodály’s philosophy on music education, and discovering the tools and strategies used in a Kodály classroom, ignited in me a deep passion for teaching music, one I live for every day! Kodály not only believed all children deserve music education, and that creating music and singing is an essential part of the human existence, but that it is nourishment for the soul. ❤️🩹
I have now been a Kodály music teacher for preschool through 6th grade for more than 20 years! I have used the Kodály approach in youth ensembles, and adult classes and choirs, and I am constantly filled with joy witnessing musical learning and skill building, and ultimately, students connecting with their own hearts and connecting to others through singing✨🎶
