Welcome to Your Movement-Based Learning Journey!

Welcome to the ninth installment of Quick Kodály Bites! In this course, you'll master kinesthetic "sound before sight" strategies that use simple, engaging movement to prepare students for musical concepts through physical experience. You'll discover how to engage students physically through movement that reinforces rhythm, form, phrasing, and expression before introducing notation, helping students internalize music in a natural, embodied way that deepens understanding and musicality.

 

What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:

  1. Implement the three-phase Kodály preparation sequence using kinesthetic strategies
  2. Use rhythmic physical preparation activities for multiple musical concepts
  3. Apply melodic movement techniques including body solfege positioning
  4. Create engaging movement-based activities that support "sound before sight" learning
  5. Build comprehensive kinesthetic preparation into your regular teaching practice

The course will employ a mix of lectures, demonstrations, and practical applications to facilitate learning.
