Card catalog description
The schools of Hungary have been producing musically literate amateurs and audiences as well as outstanding professional musicians for more than half a century. This phenomenon can be directly traced to the influence of one man, Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist, and educator, Zoltan Kodaly. Under Kodaly's leadership, schools in Hungary instituted music as a subject taught daily, given equal importance with mathematics, science, and language. The goal of this education was universal musical literacy - love of music supported by knowledge about music. The method that evolved to support this philosophy has since spread to the four corners of the earth.
