Open Weekend

at the magical workshop of Cantemus24-28 April 2013

Enthused and inspired by the success of our previous conferences for music professionals, the Cantemus Choral Institute, the Kodály Zoltán Primary School and the Pro Voce Humana Foundation are going to hold their next Open Weekend in spring of 2013.

The programme is designed for music teachers and conduc-tors and will allow the participants to observe and gain an insight into the world class standard work of music education in Nyíregyháza which is a living testimony to the reality, truth and effectiveness of the Kodály method.

During the course you will be introduced to the secrets of detail and refined methodology as well as given an opportunity to see the big picture of the whole concept, the complete structure of the system and the solidity of the Kodály principle – the ’Nyíregyháza secret’ as foreigners often call it.
