Music in the Early Years
"Often a single experience will open the young soul to music for a whole lifetime."
- Zoltan Kodaly
As a teacher, I am always searching for new innovative ideas and creative teaching methods. A few years ago I became aware of the music education methodology of Zoltán Kodály and was inspired to learn more.
In 2017 I was accepted and enrolled in the ECME Certificate Program with the Royal Conservatory of Music in association with Toronto Metropolitan University.
​
This program gives me the opportunity to study the three major Early Childhood Music philosophies:
​
-
Émile-Jacques Dalcroze
-
Zoltán Kodály
-
Carl Orff
Toronto Metropolitan University provides me the opportunity to learn about the way a child's mind develops through early childhood through a course on Cognitive Development.
​
​I am excited to apply this new education to my own private lessons and to group classes for young children. Get in touch with me to learn more.
