16 December 1882 – 6 March 1967, Hungarian. Kodály was as much of a musicologist and philosopher as he was a composer. He’s most well-known for his approach to music education (called the ‘Kodály Method’), which involves movement, singing and hand signs in accordance to developmental learning in children. The emphasis is placed on developing aural and practical (especially singing) skills before tackling music theory and notation.
The Kodály Method, also referred to as the Kodály Concept, is an approach to music education developed in Hungary during the mid-twentieth century by Zoltán Kodály. His philosophies regarding education served as inspiration for the method, which was then developed over a number of years by his associates.
