They come from neighboring states like North Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi, eager to learn.<\/p>\n

They come from various parts of the state of Tennessee, too.<\/p>\n

They are not students in the traditional sense. They are music educators who want to pick up new teaching methods to bring back to their own pupils.<\/p>\n

The Kod\u00e1ly Institute<\/a> at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is a summer professional development institute for music teachers.<\/p>\n

Named after Z\u00f3ltan Kod\u00e1ly (pronounced KOH-dye), a Hungarian composer, musicologist and educator, the institute\u2014under way since June 13 and concluding July 1\u2014espouses the philosophy of Kod\u00e1ly\u2019s approach to music education.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was highly regarded as a composer and he saw music not simply as a commodity or a thing that people do, but as a vibrant means of expressing culture and providing significant meaning to people\u2019s lives,\u201d said Lee Harris, professor of music education and the director of the Kod\u00e1ly Institute.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough he certainly valued the performance of music and composition and the study of music, he believed that it was really important that schools have music as a significant part of the education of children because that was part of their culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through his position as a professor at the Liszt Conservatory in Budapest, Hungary, Kod\u00e1ly focused on the importance of quality music\u2014especially folk songs\u2014and the study of the heritage of particular cultures.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was intentional about how teachers taught music, progressing from songs that were appropriate for children at a very young age up to more sophisticated music and concepts as they grew older,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n

People worldwide started paying attention to those methods, he explained, \u201cand what we would call the Kod\u00e1ly movement took hold in the United States in the early part of the 1970s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris said Kod\u00e1ly training first came to Chattanooga in the 1980s, but it stopped when grant money ran out.<\/p>\n

After joining the UTC faculty in 1995, Harris learned about the approach from Donald and Susan Garrett, a pair of Cleveland, Tennessee, teachers trained in the technique.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, \u2018We\u2019d like to re-establish this training at UTC,\u2019\u201d Harris said, \u201cand when I saw it in action, I was all for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started with a two-week course in 2000 and received a good response from teachers in the area. We\u2019ve been able to continue it ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

This summer, Harris said, 15 visiting music educators are participating in the institute\u2014ranging from a pair of Southern Adventist University music education majors to a teacher with 20-plus years of experience.<\/p>\n

Most participants are getting their initial exposure to the Kod\u00e1ly approach. The training takes place over three summers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is you learn about it and then you go into a school and start doing it with your children,\u201d he said, \u201cso you kind of work it out in that sense.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you complete all three levels and successfully apply it with the children you teach or the students you teach\u2014because we also have middle school and high school teachers who learn about the approach\u2014then you can complete all the requirements and earn Kod\u00e1ly certification.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris said it\u2019s essential that the teachers be good musicians, \u201cso we focus a lot on their own musicianship, especially using solfege\u2014a sight reading system.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn important part of the Kodaly approach is the belief that if children learn to read music and develop music literacy, that will strengthen their love for it and turn them into independent musicians, so we focus on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The curriculum also features classes in methodology, folk song collection and analysis, conducting and choral ensemble.<\/p>\n

As a music educator, Harris is in a position where he\u2019s teaching others how to teach others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s rewarding about this,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you talk to most people who are music teachers, or if you talk to some of our current music education majors, they will say that the reason that they decided they wanted to become a music teacher is because of a band director or a choral director or a music teacher who inspired them and helped them love music.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they said, \u201cI want to do that for other people like someone did that for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

That thinking led Donald and Susan Garrett to approach Harris about reigniting the UTC Kod\u00e1ly Institute nearly 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

The Garretts are still part of the institute\u2019s faculty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think Lee Harris is one of the finest,\u201d Donald Garrett said. \u201cHe has made this little institute work, and that in turn has influenced hundreds of lives of both teachers and children. Not only that, but he\u2019s a first-class human being.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the rites of passage of the Kod\u00e1ly Institute is the annual end-of-session concert.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s recital takes place at 7 p.m. this Thursday, June 30, at Cadek Recital Hall and features the institute\u2019s participants. Harris said the concert will feature pieces by Kod\u00e1ly, English composer Gustav Holst and American composer Samuel Barber.<\/p>\n

The event is free to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people finishing their Kod\u00e1ly training and earning their certification will each perform as a singer or as an instrumentalist to demonstrate their musical skills,\u201d Harris explained. \u201cThey will also conduct one of the pieces at the concert.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s part of the culmination of what they have done in finishing their training.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
