Kodály Australia Conference

The 2022 Kodály Australia Conference will be held at Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School. For more information click here.

You will attend some sessions together with all the delegates and some sessions in groups. You do not need to sign up for your chosen elective, just show up on to the room on time to be sure to get a place. It is a good idea to have a second option should a room be crowded.

Daily musicianship sessions are streamed into six levels, from beginner to advanced.

A Kodály-inspired musicianship session typically follows a scaffolded and musically-satisfying approach to develop various musical skills and ways of thinking, including musical analysis, sight-singing, solfa fluency, and part-singing.

For music teachers, this training is a game-changer. It sharpens their ability to convey musical concepts effectively, fine-tunes their ear for precise listening, and boosts confidence in both teaching and performing. With ongoing professional development in musicianship, educators stay ahead of the curve, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and musical excellence in their classrooms.

Please take time to determine which musicianship group will be the most suitable for you. Please indicate on your registration form which group you think best suits you. Once you are at the conference, if you find the group you are in is too easy/advanced there will be an opportunity to change after the first ten minutes of the session.
