Since the midtwentieth century, Zoltn Kodly's childdevelopmental philosophy for teaching music has had significant positive impact on music education around the world, and is now at the core of music teaching in the United States and other English speaking countries. The Kodly Today handbook series is the first comprehensive system to update and apply the Kodly concepts to teaching music in elementary school classrooms.Kodly in the First Grade Classroom provides teachers with a stepbystep road map for developing children's performance, creative movement, and literacy skills in an organic and thoughtful manner. Through six years of fieldtesting with music kindergarten teachers in the United States, Great Britain, and Hungary (the home country of Zoltn Kodly), authors Michel Houlahan and Philip Tacka have developed a methodology specifically for 21st century classrooms. Houlahan and Tacka use the latest research findings in cognition and perception to create a system not only appropriate for the developmental stages of first grade students but also one which integrates vertically between elementary music classes. The methods outlined in this volume encourage greater musical ability and creativity in children by teaching them to sing, move, play instruments, and develop music literacy skills. In addition, Kodly in the First Grade Classroom promotes critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills. Although the book uses the Kodly philosophy, its methodology has also been tested by teachers certified in Orff and Dalcroze, and has proven an essential guide for teachers no matter what their personal philosophy and specific training might be.Numerous children's songs are incorporated into Kodly in the First Grade Classroom, as well as over 35 detailed lesson plans that demonstrate how music and literacy curriculum goals are transformed into tangible musical objectives. Scholarly yet practical and accessible, this volume is sure to be an essential guide for kindergarten and early childhood music teachers everywhere.
