In Summer 2012, DePaul School of Music will present a series of Music Education workshops. Workshops will include Kodály Levels I and III, African Drumming, and Orff Levels I, II and III.
Kodály Levels I and III
June 18 - 29, 2012
At the heart of the Kodály philosophy is the student’s innate musicality and the use of natural, logical pedagogical sequence to unlock the key to musical literacy. Kodály Level I and III courses cover the inspiring philosophy and teaching tools promoted by Zoltan Kodály. Successful participants will finish with an abundance of new songs, games, activities and techniques that will energize, organize and perhaps transform their teaching. The daily schedule will include pedagogy, musicianship, folk music materials, choir and special topics such as instruments in the classroom and classical music connections for students.
3 quarter hour credits / 2 semester hour credits / 12 CEU credits

Orff Levels I, II and III
July 23 - August 3, 2012
Carl Orff once said, “Children have always loved to play. Why not let them learn as they play?” Imitation, exploration, creation, literacy and ownership, is the process to Carl Orff’s philosophy.
Orff Schulwerk certification classes will include working with Orff ensemble, Orff literature, improvisation, composition, pedagogy, recorder and movement. Participants will be actively making music while learning basic Orff process and methodology. Special topics will also be offered to cover areas not included in the basic curriculum.
