Quick Kodály Bites Part 11

Master Creative "Sound Before Sight" Visual Strategies

$10 | 30 min

SKU: QKB11EV-ODPDC

 

Welcome to Your Visual Preparation Learning Journey!

Welcome to the eleventh installment of Quick Kodály Bites! In this course, you'll master creative visual strategies that support "sound before sight" learning by helping students connect musical concepts to images, gestures, and symbols before introducing notation. You'll discover how to use iconic notation and creative visual tools that complete the preparation phase, allowing students to see what they have been feeling and hearing through physical and aural experiences.

 

What You'll Learn

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

  1. Implement visual preparation as "late" preparation following the feel/hear/see sequence
  2. Create iconic notation systems that bridge sound experience to formal notation
  3. Apply specific rhythmic and melodic visual techniques for multiple concepts
  4. Design playful visual activities that support diverse learning styles
  5. Complete comprehensive "sound before sight" preparation using all three modalities

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