Musicianship & Methodology

Accredited in partnership with British Kodály Academy through CPD UK

Since July 2020, we have been running online courses in Musicianship and Methodology and engaged with musicians, class teachers, students and specialists from 23 countries across the world as well as many, many people in the UK. This has been one of the ‘silver linings’ of the pandemic where you can access training in the Kodály approach without leaving the comfort of your own home.

You don’t have to be a trained musician to join us as we have something for every level. These classes are accredited in partnership with British Kodály Academy through CPD UK, however, the assessments are optional.

By attending weekly classes, you have time to assimilate and practice what you have learned. We record the sessions as an aide memoire.

 

These informal, one-hour sessions will run over 6 weeks, building on and improving the skills you’ve already developed, or serving as an introduction to Kodály based musicianship if you have little or no prior experience of this approach.

Bookings are now open for Block 1 of our online musicianship classes.

If you’re planning to join us at the NYCOS Kodály Summer School in July 2027, these sessions provide excellent preparation. Full certification options will be available at the Summer School.

The cost for one block is £59, and student prices are available.

  • Level 1/2 – An introduction to Kodály based musicianship for those people who have little or no prior musical experience.
  • Level 3/4 – An introduction to Kodály based musicianship for those people who have a strong musical background but are new to solfa, or for those who have completed level 2.
  • Level 5/6 – For those who would like a refresher/further practice at this level, or for those who have completed level 4.
  • Level 7/8 – For those who would like a refresher/further practice at this level, or for those who have completed level 6.
