What does the Kodály Philosophy mean to me?

When I am asked, “What is the Kodály philosophy?” I immediately recall some of my most cherished moments with my students. Moments when their eyes brightened with a new discovery, like the moment when the notehead is connected to the stem on the staff…hearing their joyful sighs of excitement, hands raised eagerly waiting to share an idea.💬

Music touches our soul, opens out heart and allows us to share smiles, tears and profound reflections. ❤️‍🩹 It encourages us to move, to dance, to connect through hands and hugs. When we sing, we feel the deep emotions of life, and when we sing with others, sharing those emotions, we create a true circle of support. We create community.👥
