"The Kodály Approach
Kodály's approach to music education is based on teaching, learning and understanding music through the experience of singing, giving direct access to the world of music without the technical problems involved with the use of an instrument. The musical material, which has proved to be the most potent and effective is a country's own folksong material and the finest art music. Music is heard first of all and then learned using relative solfa, derived from John Curwen's Tonic Solfa and rhythm solfa, inspired by and simplified from the French rhythm solfa system of Cheve, Gallin and Paris."
