Zoltán Kodály Pedagogical Institute of Music

 


Founded in 1973, the internationally acknowledged Zoltán Kodály Pedagogical Institute of Music is today an organizational unit of the Liszt Ferenc Music Academy.

In the founding decree the main aims of the Institute were stated as follows:

a) to reveal the theoretical and practical experiences necessary for the development of music education: to work out suggestions in relation to the practical activities of educational institutions;

b) to organise the dissemination of the methods of Hungarian music education abroad;

c) to provide post-graduate training for foreign music pedagogues in the field of Hungarian music pedagogy and methodology.


In order to realise its aims the Institute organises academic conferences, meetings and other events both in Hungary and abroad to serve the aim of regular exchange of experiences.

The Institute began its activities and today offers training programmes: Since the first group of students in the 1975-76 academic year there have been students from 44 different countries. The majority of these students have come from USA, Australia, Japan, Ireland, Great Britain and Canada. The success of the course and the increasing interest in it is proved by the fact that many of the students extend their stay at the Institute to a second and a third year.
