Certification

The best way to learn the Kodály approach to music education is to attend certification training in the summer. Carolina Kodály Institute at Lenoir Rhyne University offers the two-week courses each July.  

 Kodály certification involves a musicianship course, pedagogy course (lesson sequencing), folk song analysis (literature and games), choral conducting, participating in choir, and special topics (different topics each summer). Each summer, the students take all of the above classes at their level. Students enter the course at level I, continue the next summer at level II and complete the course the following summer at level III. Students receive their Kodály Certification upon completion of level III.
