MUSIC EDUCATION FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE DREAM Kodaly Conctpt in Israel

Dr. Barbara Kaplan

MUSIC IN THE KIBBUTZ Bruno Bdtclheim's "children of the

dream'" werc the children of the kibbutz­the: sinSularly successful, much·studied communal enterprise that resulted from ",ricultural. defense, and social needs in a newly dc\,clopinl dvUiution with age-old traditions. Today in Israel, the dream of music tducation for all extends beyond the children of the kibbutz to cncompass young people in the publ.ic schools of the cities. in schools for children wilh special needs, in the conscrvalones. in lugher education, and t\'cn in the: army.

Writers who characterize the educa­tional system of the kibbutz as the best in Israel. repeatedly stress the "almost holy" altitude with which work is done there. A utopian assumption that socialization and education arc expected to create a new per­sonality completely adapted to the exigen­cies of [I new society makes heavy demands on education,l The commitment of kibbutz musicians to meeting these demands is con­stantly revcaled in their fast-paced lives, intense involvement in performance, study, and composilion and in a willinlMU 10 look critically at the product and the method of the educational process in music.

Ninety percenl of the kiubutzim halie uniquely individual programs in music edu­cation and many offer experiences in Ihe visual arts as well. On my first morning at Tel-Aviv University, Eua Lifshitz., an Am«ican eTTllgre tcaching music at Kibbutt. Urim ncar 8ecrshe\'a, worked with a class of IO-IS year old boys, performing four original compositions. The young "com­posers" used percussion inst ruments for related aru themes - "In the Name of China," "Porlrait of Rembrandt as an old Man." "Autumn Song." and "Connict." - all improvisatory in nature. "Conflict," fo r e)tample, was played from a seventh grader's e)tperimental notat ion chart with classmates choosi ng instru ment s and depicting compositional lines us each in terpreted the meanin, of the diagram , When askC'd why he had used experimental notation for his composition, the boy re­sponded Ihat he did not yet know tradi­tional nOlalion.

KibbllfZ Shejayim, on the slope of a hill overlooking the Mediterranean, pro­vides rehearsal headqUArters in its audi­torium for the remar kable Kibbutz Chamber Orchestra of luad which is directed by Noam Sherif, the so<alled "leonard Bernstein of Israel." The listener needs only a few minutes of a rehearsal to sense the notable rappon between con­ductor and members or the orchestra a~ well as the rigorous standards of precision and style expected of the performers, who come weekly from kibbutzim all over Israel to rehearse for two days and then perform extensively throughoul the country,

During Pessach holidays fifty to sixty adult singers and instrumentalists from surrounding kibbutzim met at Kibbutz JlQogen to participate in a choral program of folk and composed music on an "Eliahu" (Elijah) theme. Outside, the auditorium of the kibbutz stood out against the niVlt sky with brillianl visual effecl, while inside the auditorium was crowded for the last of several performances. Accompaniments were especially arranged for the available instruments - guitars, nute, clarinet, the characteristic English horn, percussion and piano, the choral sound was distinctively Israeli. Across the road from Haogen, Kibbll t~ Muaborot has a well developed music education program from kindergarten to a recently organized choral group of tccn-age girls. Among repertoire favori tes of the Manbarol airls' choir arc "lai la " (Evening), composed by Jaacov,Miller, a resident of the kibbutz, a nd seve ral of Ihe Naomi Shemer compositions like the award.winnin. " Hal leluyah," By contrast , Magan Michael, the coastal kibbutz. of orange and banana groves that housed an underground munnions factory during the Arab-Israeli conflict of the 1940's, depends on a young woman who is a native of the kibbutz and a student at the Tel-Aviv Midrasha, for some of its musical instruction. The existence of excellent auditorium raci lities in many of the kibbulrim SCTVe5 to indicale in a langible way the value placed upon musical performance by the kibbutzim membership al large.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC

There i~ wide In-Cinition by public school mU~lc te3cher~ that the ~ibbuttim are orten beller rquipped physically for musical cducalion b and for performance than arc many of the ctty )(hool,. Funher­more, special opportuniti('<, arc of len provided by a kibbutz for those children who exhibit unu~ual mu\i..:al lalenl.

As in the kibbutzim, the individual music programs in the publiC schools of towns and dllC.s arc widely varied . Many music t('achen trained in Israel art teaching onl), part·time, or not at all, when there i~ a vital need for music teachcrs throughout the counny. Some of those who are leach· ing in publk ~hoob ar(' also teaching in the midrasha, or in olher branches of higher eduClition; some teach privately as well - II neccssary practice with Israel 's innationary econom)'. Only mty percent of the public elementary schools have music teachers and only (he percent of the high schools main­lain choral and music appreciation programs, while the in\trumental programs in public schools arc almo~t non~i~tent. Some schools are experimenting with music hle.'rac) skill~, ani.-.lic choral singing, and indi .... dualized i~truction, and arc altcmpl­ing 10 develop well-balanced programs in music educalion_ In a con\'e~tion with Ben-Zion Orgrad, Slale Inspeclor of Music in the MiniSlry of Culture and Education , I learned of the growing participation in the February high school "recitals" by studena who wish to reeeivecredil for applied music study. ' Three nl·A\·jv public schools in vll ried locations lire illustrative of programs and problems with which the ministry must copc, At the Remez Elem~nlary School, located in the "culturally deprived" soulh­ern area of the ci ty but ah'·e with color and the charm of children', art, third.graders sang for me 3n Arab pla)'er origmally taught by their classroom teacher on which they were "orking for tone Q,uality wilh Ihe help of a visiting teacher who supervised ,

AIMS OF MUSIC EDUCATION The Music Depanment of Ihe Ministry

of Education and Culture under Orgad 's direction has a variety of functions: 1) the preparation of guiding philosophical Slale­ments and curriculum iuides for the schools; 2) hiring and assigning I('achen to Ihe schools; J) inspection or all music activities, nurser) school through high school , in six areas or the country and 10 Ihe forlY con.ser ... atories which arc in operation during artcr·~hool hours; 4) the dislribu­tion of materials for choir fcstivals; S) the planning and orgal1iz<Ilion of confer~nccs in cooperation with the lafge association of private music teachers, with a mem~rshlp approximately 700 in 1979.

The Ministry of Education focuses on the pupil and "Ihe child's active participa­tion - in discriminal ive listening, move­ment, vocal and inst rumental pcrformanc(' ... as the starting point for each musical ICl1vlty. \ Iusic, as a phenomenon of \Gunds, in all its aspects, and as an aesthetic-artistic phenomenon, Wit h all its historical content and messages. shou ld be allhe cenler of alllhis 3Clivily ... •

Essence is described as general background, basic assumptions and conten!, with "content·spheres" which include singing, playing an instrument, "rh)1hm musk," musk literature, mU~lc theory and social environment. Since the 1978 publication or this philosophical basis, the ministry has asled a group of inservice teachers to prepare currkulm guides which will ellem­plify a po~~ible developm~nt of the ministr)'-~ obJectiVC'i, but will refrain from specHic delineation of one method of accomplishment.

More recently, Dr. Hanoch Ron, formerly an in~pet1or of music education in the Southern part of the country and currently on the staff of Tel-­Aviv MidrQshu as well as music critic for a Tel-Aviv Newspaper, has encouraged the exploratIOn of the Kodlily concept as a possible route to achieving a more desirable musical education for morC' than a privi lcged fcw of Israel's population

In addition 10 prOgrams resul ting in a bachelor's or master·s degree at the universi ty le ... el. two three.year teacher­training programs lead to certification. The St'millars, like the highly rcspected Seminar LeYinsky in Tel-A yiv. prcpare classroom teachers in a program which requires at least onc hour of music weekly for three years. The M idrasha, or th~ statc muisic teachers college, prepares music specialisls for tcaching in the schoch: five M idrashot are strategically located in Jerusalem. T~l~ Avi .... Pelak-TiloYah, Beersheya . and Oran im (near Haira). The curriculum includes thirty-live hours w~kly of II range of subjects: solfeg~, harmony. music history. music education methud s. psychology, choir, Jewish studies, Hebrew, electronic and contem porary mu sic . counterpOint, acoustics, orchestration, music of Israel, and voice production. Expcrience-s in the schools increase with each year: six hours one day weekly in year I. eight hours two days weekly in year II. and ten hours week ly in year Ill. Some fllcul ty teach in both seminar and midrasha, and often maintain part-time school programs as well : a second teaching position in addition to one's primary posi­tion is offiCially pet"miued. Teacher certififi­cation examinations include solfeggio and dictation, tYoen ty so ngs from memory. method and "didactics" selected from teaching in all collegc:5 and uniYefsi ties and worded for applicobil it )' to at leaSl 90 percent of the stud~nlS, and a project, pre· pared for the student teacher 's class in con- g

suhation with his college supervIsing teacher and pre-sented for a committee from the eollt'ge. Faculty of the Midrasha as well as officials in the ministry are increasingly concerned wi th the nero for developing early in student leachers a sense of respon­sibility and commitment to a full-time career in teaching. Innovations like the new university music education programs and seminars serYe as surrogates for II presently non·esistent organization such as the Music Educators Nat ional Conference. bringing music students and teachers together In pro­jects where they may share problems and ideas.

PRESIDENT'S PAGE

The Tens Music Educators Associa­tion and \iusic Educators National Con­ference con\/!'nlion in San Antonio, Texas IS an historic ('\'tnt, not only because of the unprtttdenred cooperation bel .... etn these ty, o STOUPS. but also because it marks the first cooperative venture bet\\ een OAKE and one of its affiliates, the Kodoily Educa­tors of Texas. The first e:oo:hibit by OAKE at a nalional convention .... -as made possible in part by the assistance of the KIT associate chapter, Our thanks 10 to \Y,O OAKE board membtn, Ahet Cq:le and Tom KiteJand to Emily Jones. PrCSldent of KET an 10 the I\ET membenhip for their fine efforts.

The OAKE board is elated over this ex­pcrienct because KET has sel a precedence of sen ice 10 its national oTaanitation. It is OUf ho~ that the many other affiliates of OAKE will also take the Imllamt to suggest such jOint sponsonohlp of similar ~enlS, perrormances and ~orhhops in their reo specthe locations. In this ~a~ .... e trul)' can begin 10 recognize the real support and communication between the national KodAly or&anization and its chapters and associates. Kudos to our friends in Texas.

A very serious maner of business facing the OAKE board in the uptOmln& months IS the enonnous gro .... ·th In the tasb required of them . Our prest'nt structure calls for a nine member board ~ilh four n· offiCIO members. It seems imminent that the number of members be enlarsed to handle the increasing number of new pro· jccts being undertaken by this elected volunteer board. We are presently workina

This rcoraanizalion can be completed with a minimum or effort on our parI. The real job bclonss to the membership - YOU -10 seek quahfied and dedicated potential nominees for board positions and to noti fy the nominations eommillcc. Also, if you have a desire to serve, there are numerous ways you can be nominated . The easiest way is to notify the nominations chair· person of your availability. The 198 1 chair· person.
