Kinda like your music teaching ‘church’

Kodály

Hungarian music curriculum developed in 1940’s

Developed in conjunction w/ Zoltán Kodály– Choksy brought this method to Northern

America (1970’s1980’s)Emphasis on

– quality folk songs

Kodály cont.

Empahsis on– Quality/folk music– Singing

Sol feg in prescribed intervalic sequence

Curwin hand signs– Rhythmic time syllables

Ta Ti-ti Ti-ki-ti-ki (ti-ri-ti-ri)

– Short-hand dictation w/no note heads or staff

Developmentally appropriate sequential presentation

Sound/movement before notation

Dalcroze

Developed by Swiss composer, Émile Jaques-Dalcroze

Emphasizes– Eurhythmics (Movement analogies)

– Sol feg– Improvisation

For practical MUED purposes, “Dalcroze = Movement”

Orff Schulwerk

German music curriculum developed by Orff/Keetman in 1920’s

Emphasis on play and creative activities

Percussive rhythm basic to human expression

Often paired with Dalcroze movement

Not a ‘method’– No sequence– An attitude

Ostinato Body Percussion Singing is used, but not

as primary sound source

4 stages– Exploration– Imitation– Improvisation– composition

Suzuki

Well established in strings, somewhat in other timbres

Repertoire of etudes in sequential order

Mother Tongue approach– Parental

involvement– Imitation/rote in

early stages– Frequent

performance

CMLS

Developed by FrosethBased on Gordon research

– Scientific empirical data– Sequential approach

Key words:– Aptitude– Audiation

Generative

Developed by Eunice Boardman, others in 1960’s-1970’s

Developmental (but not sequential) in approach

Relies on musical application of Jerome Bruner’s theory of human cognition– Can be applied to lots of ‘churches’

Key words– Icons– Spiral curriculum– Known/unknown/new known– Musical context

Cognitive Theories

Developmental– Piaget– Pestalozzi– Dewey

Constructivist– Bruner– Vygotsky– Piaget– Dewey

Social Learning– Vygotsky– Bandura

Behaviorism– Skinner– Thorndyke
