Key terms, persons: Kodály
Abstract:
The underlying theme of this thesis is related to the following quote from Brendan Kenneally, "All songs are living ghosts and long for a living voice." The overall aim of the paper is to create lesson plans for the new Junior Cycle short course in music which can be delivered `off the shelf'. The thesis contains 25 useful lesson plans which fit the needs of incoming first year students to second level education. Each lesson plan contains `good' repertoire and gives these folk songs a good airing.
In order to compose detailed lesson plans based on the Kodály approach, the structure of education in Ireland was researched along with the Kodály music education sequence. A Short Course Specification in Music is revealed in the paper. The overall aim is to acquire better musicianship through performing, composing and listening to music, and to achieve musical growth and understanding in these three core areas over the course of 100 hours of classroom teaching.
