A core belief of the Kodaly philosophy, is to give children the opportunity to interact with "real" instruments. The first experience with a musical instrument should be of the best quality possible. Over the years, I have accumulated many of my instruments from yard sales and classified ads. I then bring them into the classroom where our students can get their hands on them, feel the vibrations , contrast/compare and actually play an authentic instrument. To see the looks on their faces when they get to interact with banjos, accordions, mandolins, and drums - confirms that this moment may influence a lifetime love of music. Comments are closed.
