    Culture cannot be taken over like an apartment, furniture or clothing. Each generation has to study it and

    experience it afresh. Zoltn Kodly

    Master of Music, Specialisation Music Education According to the Kodly Concept

    A well trained ear (listening and singing skills),

    A well-trained mind (musical understanding through music making and musicianship, reading and writing skills),

    A well-trained heart (emotional development and social skills),

    A well-trained hand (instrumental playing),

    These four areas of musical and personal development, mentioned by Zoltn Kodly in his article "Who Is A Good

    Musician?" have become a mission statement for Kodly teachers and students all over the world. They are being

    thought of as equally important for the development of both professional and amateur musicians, for music lovers

    and music listeners in order to understand the language of music.

    The two-year master program offered by the Royal Conservatoire lets students become masters in music education

    according the Kodly concept. They become specialists in musical learning for children in and outside schools,

    mainly using their singing voices.

    The program consists of three main areas of study: methodology, musicianship and research. These three areas of

    study are closely related: musicianship plays a central role in the study of teaching and learning music, and

    methodological principles are an important part of the musicianship training. Research will relate to methods as well

    as musicianship. It is an essential point in music education according to the Kodly concept: there is no division

    between craft and art, between pedagogy and musical content, between methodology and didactics. Music making,

    musical understanding and the musical learning process should become one.

    The master program is open for singers, instrumentalists and music teachers, who have completed a Bachelor study

    in music or in music education.

    Course title: Introduction to Research in the Arts

    Osiris course code: KC-M-AL-TRIP-11

    Course Content: This course introduces the student to the phenomenon of research in the master

    programme. This research is strongly connected to the main subject of the student. The

    research questions derive from the students musical practice, the research method is

    practice-based, e.g. in and through performing or composing, and the final outcome of

    the research will often be musical practice, e.g. performances or compositions. During the

    course we will discuss these issues, in order to prepare the student to develop his or her

    own research project in the master programme. Students will also be introduced to the

    online Research Catalogue, as well as the various methods of documenting and

    presenting their research.

    Objectives: At the end of the course the students should:

    be able to demonstrate an understanding of what research in the master programme of

    the conservatoire comprises;

    have an understanding of the use of source material;

    have an understanding of the skills required to document their research results; be able to demonstrate skills of formulating a preliminary research proposal and abstract;

    be able to document their research process and results on the Research Catalogue.

    Type of course: Compulsory

    Level: Master

    Teachers: Kathryn Cok, Henk Borgdorff and others

    Credit points: 1 EC

    Course title: Musicians research and development

    Osiris course code: 1st

    year: KC-M-AL-RD1-11, 2nd

    year: KC-M-AL-RD2-11

    Course Content: There are three stages in the research element of the Master of Music programme:

    ! becoming aware of the problem to be addressed and being able to clearly formulate

    the research question.

    ! developing a research project and selecting a research method.

    ! presenting the results of the research to an interested audience, having chosen an

    appropriate form of presentation and documentation.

    Students must write and develop their personal research proposal (a detailed description

    of their research project), as soon as possible in the first semester of the first year of the

    Master programme in consultation with their research coach, Master Circle leader, and

    study leader Kathryn Cok. Each research project is concluded and evaluated in its own

    particular way, but the results of the research must be in some way measurable and the

  • 8/11/2019 Master Music Education Kodaly

    7/15

    7

    content and level of the research must be capable of assessment. To this end the

    research components of the Master of Music programme requires the participation in the

    following three activities:

    Individual coaching:The curriculum provides that every student will have a personal

    research coach in the first year, from the beginning of their study up to their Research

    Presentation in March of the second year. Students will be assigned a research coach,selected from a pool of teachers whose duties also include coaching. In addition students

    may choose a coach from outside the school, with whom they can work part of the time

    in conjunction with their assigned coach. This will have to be discussed beforehand with

    Kathryn Cok, study leader. Each student has 15 minutes a week, or 60 minutes a month,

    for personal instruction by the research coach. This represents 15 hours of individual

    coaching, including preparation, over the entire course of the programme (including time

    spent with an external coach). The method and frequency of coaching (personal, in small

    groups, by e-mail or through social sites on the internet etc.) is entirely up to the coach

    and the student and will differ from one individual to another.

    Master Circle:Every month a Master Circle of first and second-year students meets

    under the chairmanship of the coordinator of a department or a specially invited

    chairman. At meetings of the Master Circles the participants discuss the Master Plans

    submitted by the first-year students, and rework them into practical research projects.

    The second-year students report on the progress with their own research projects and

    any problems they have encountered, and the group discusses possible solutions. Guest

    lecturers, speakers from the professional field and alumni of the conservatoire can also

    be invited and interviewed, and there is room for criticism and confrontation.

    Individual research and presentation: In order to complete the requirements of the

    Master of Music programme, each student must successfully undertake an individual

    research project, and present the findings of this project in a public Research

    Presentation during the Master Research Symposium, which is held in March of eachyear. The format of the final presentation can vary (see Handbook Master of Music

    Programme).

    Objectives: At the end of the research component of the Master of Music programme, students

    should be able to:

    ! develop a deeper understanding of and insight into why and how music education

    works

    ! increase, through the findings of their research, their understanding of the professional

    environment, and of their own opportunities and possibilities

    ! formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information and to link these

    judgements to reflection on educational, artistic and social and ethical responsibilities.

    ! present the result of their research project to specialist and non-specialist audiences.

    Additional information on the Master Circles

    Attendance in the Master Circles is compulsory for 80% of all sessions per year.

    Teachers must keep a record of attendance and submit it to Klarijn Verkaart, Master studies assistant

    ([email protected]).

    Students who wish to switch to a different Master Circle may do so if there is room and provided the

    relevant Master Circle leaders are given sufficient notice and the Master studies assistant is informed in

    time.

    Course title: Methodology The Kodly Concept and other Music Teaching Methods

    Osiris course code:

    Course Content: Music education according to the Kodly concept forms the basis of the methodology

    classes. The starting point is always making music (sound). Then awareness (musical

    understanding) and practice (exercise) can lead to musical literacy. The process of

    learning is connected to the students teaching practice. Students develop their teaching

    material through pedagogical research and artistic evaluation.

    Per year there are three modules containing 10 weeks of lessons and two class-free

    weeks. Each module will be introduced by an overview of the methodology in the studied

    area. Model lessons will be performed and analysed, and students develop their own

    lesson plans and content, using the provided models. During the two year master study

    program there will be six compulsory modules: 1. Pre-school music education 2. Music

    education for 6-8 year old children 3. Music education for 8-10 year old children 4. Music

    education for 11-14 year old children or older beginners 5. Instrumental teaching

    according to the Kodly concept 6. Relations to other (music) teaching philosophies.

    The methodology modules will concentrate both on in-school and after-school situations.
