Tere is a great responsibilityor the Holy Names Univer-sity Kodly Program. It is avery hard truth that all ourcompetence and idealism isworthless i we cannot pass

it on. We must pass it on to those who will needit most: teachers, so that they can teach childrenin the best way. Tis will ensure that thesechildren can develop into great human beings,indeed, human beings that later can make adierence between living in a harsh, violentand anatic world or living in a world ull obeauty, riendship and mutual respect.

Gilbert e GreevePresident, International Kodly Societ

I came to the KodlyInstitute merely to better un-derstand how children learnto understand and perormmusic. I came away romHNU cherishing renewed

idealism about the place o music in humandevelopment, an idealism inspired by ZoltnKodlys words: Only the best is good enoughor a child.

Matt Walsh 08Kodly Specialist Certicat

Music enhances the beautyo lie and all that is pre-cious in it.

Zoltn Koly

Having studied neither musicnor education in college, onemight wonder how I came tospend these last 27 years in

music education. I think itwas the combination o joy,wonder and learning that

happened when I saw my daughter experiencea single Kodly class (during her 2-day Suzukiviolin workshop at Holy Names in the summer o1981). Kodlys belie that singing can best teachthe ear was clear to me rom that frst experience.

Anne LaskeyDirector, Holy Names University Kodly Center

Troughout its visionaryleadership, the Holy Names

Kodly Program has alwayskept in sharp ocus the mostimportant discovery o allabout music: all children

are natural musicians who deserve the fnestpossible education in order to cultivate theirinborn musicality.

dr. Jerry Jaccar 76Proessor o Music, B righam Young University

I started playing the pianoat age 6 and also sang inmany choirs; I was long-

ing to do more with musicbut elt ill-equipped. WhenI frst encountered the

program at Holy Names, it was like havingmy eyes opened; suddenly I understood clearlythings that had always been vague to me. Iwent home so excited, thinking I only I hadlearned music this way rom childhood, Iwould be a real musician now!

Fran SmithProessor o Music, Holy Names University

This year marks the 40th anniversary o

the ounding o the Kodly Center at Holy

Names University, the oldest center or

Kodly - based music education in North

America. The program was ounded in

1969 by Sr. Mary Alice Hein, a Holy Names

proessor whose encounter with Zoltn

Kodly in 1966 inspired a lielong devo-

tion to bringing his vision o education to

the American musical world.

A program, renowned the world over, or

its innovation is very dear to the hearts

o many alumni and aculty. Here is what

some o them had to say
