Musicianship in the Primary Classroom
in partnership with the British Kodály Academy
Are you a Nursery or Primary teacher looking for practical ideas to support music teaching in your school? Join for for a two-day course led by Lucinda Geoghegan in partnership with the British Kodály Academy and Cumbria Music Hub. NO PREVIOUS MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE IS REQUIRED!
You may already know that:
Musical play in early childhood will help a child develop through pro-social learning:
- Language and communication
- Social Cognition
- Physical development (gross to fine motor skills)
This course is aimed at those with little or no previous musical training, or who are completely new to Kodály Inspired Music Education. You will go away equipped with fun ideas to use immediately with children. This introduction to the Kodály Approach gives you the requirements of Module 1 of the Kodály Certificate Foundation Level if you choose to be assessed (this is not a mandatory part of the course). To be awarded the accredited certificate the full course must be completed (see module content).
