PARALLELS AND DIFFERENCES IN TRENDS IN MUSIC PEDAGOGY IN THE 20TH CENTURY – THE PLACE OF THE KODÁLY CONCEPT IN EUROPEAN MUSIC PEDAGOGY OF THE LAST CENTURY –
Abstract
The practical renewal of Zoltán Kodály's world-famous pedagogical tradition is once again a question enjoying significant dominance and a widely researched field in Hungary. Various institutes, workshops and studies deal with the theoretical background of this question and the possibilities of practical implementation. Studying the current renewal trends affecting the Kodály concept and method, as well as the different music pedagogic methods of the last century, it can be said that there are many parallels and similarities between them. We could also say that these methods of the 20th century served as a model and may even serve as a model in the future for the methodological further development of school singing and music education based on the Kodály concept. That is why it is worth getting to know the different trends so that we can draw ideas from them and integrate them into our own activities.
