Musicianship & Methodology

Accredited in partnership with British Kodály Academy through CPD UK

Since July 2020, we have been running online courses in Musicianship and Methodology and engaged with musicians, class teachers, students and specialists from 23 countries across the world as well as many, many people in the UK. This has been one of the ‘silver linings’ of the pandemic where you can access training in the Kodály approach without leaving the comfort of your own home.

You don’t have to be a trained musician to join us as we have something for every level. These classes are accredited in partnership with British Kodály Academy through CPD UK, however, the assessments are optional.

By attending weekly classes, you have time to assimilate and practice what you have learned. We record the sessions as an aide memoire.

Online Kodály Musicianship Classes

These informal, one-hour sessions will run over 6 weeks, building on and improving the skills you’ve already developed.

There are 2 blocks available for booking. Block 2 will explore similar skills, and your tutor will advise you on which level to book during Block 1 if you’re interested in further developing your study.

If you’re planning to join us at the NYCOS Kodály Summer School in August 2025, these sessions provide excellent preparation. Full certification options will be available at the Summer School.

The cost for one block is £59, and student prices are available. If the times and dates listed below don’t work for you, our partners at BKA are offering the same levels on different days.

• Level 1/2 – An introduction to Kodály based musicianship for those people who have little or no prior musical experience.
• Level 3/4 – An introduction to Kodály based musicianship for those people who have a strong musical background but are new to solfa.
• Level 5/6 – For those who would like a refresher/further practice at this level.
