Kodaly Teaching in Australia
A Kodaly-based approach is used in the teaching of aural and music reading skills. Kodaly teaching provides a medium for effective and enjoyable music education, which enables children to develop real musical skills. Mark O'Leary is currently President of the Kodaly Music Education Institute of Australia Victorian Branch, and both Mark and Marion Stafford are honorary Life Members of this organisation.
