Three leading European music universities (Liszt Academy from Hungary, Royal Conservatories of the Haag Holland and that of Scotland) form a strategic partnership with the objective of creating a new music teaching curriculum for primary school music teachers, as well as to elaborate a new didactics material with a modernised music repertory following the principles of the renowned Kodály pedagogy. The project intends to fill the need of new teaching ways in music, especially in the most susceptible age group of children (5-10 ys), who usually receive 1 music lesson/week from the general class teacher who have no skills and training to teach specialized subjects, and have a very vague music repertory (except some specialised music primary schools in Hungary). There is no modern curriculum or specific content for music education in primary schools yet. The current teaching methodology is based on the passive attitude of the pupils, focuses too much on theory rather than creating an atmosphere where the kids can actively be involved in music making, while having a “positive flow”. That’s why currently music lessons are among the most denied and disliked subjects. Why should anyone like or make music, is there any benefit? Why is it important to start music education in early childhood? The key is the proven benefits of music, the so called “musical transfer effect”. Those children who receive appropriate music education in their early ages will have more developed cognitive functions, linguistic, arithmetic skills, fine motoric capabilities, will possess a more open social attitude, more autonomous thus flexible personality compared to those children who received no music education. Therefore the stake is the quality of our future society. The innovation of our approach lies in the new approach of two new models which connect creative movements with singing and music listening, as well as applying elements of the pedagogy of Klara Kokas, a Kodaly alumna, who developed a new, children-focused holistic approach combining music listening with free movements. The two models truly reflect the findings of how active participation in music making, be it through instinctive movements, improvisation, etc. enhances the understanding, absorption of music. A recently finished pilot scientific study in Hungary serves as a starting point for the job of creating new didactics based on these models. In parallel the critical review of the current learning materials and music repertoires used in primary schools will be completed along with importing new pieces. The pieces have to serve the needs of the children of the digital era, to help their joyful involvement in music lessons, via using carefully selected, high-quality music listening materials of various genres with analysis, authentic folk pieces of the given countries, singing games and choreographies. This will be executed by experts and students of the 3 HEI partners, the first steps being done through Intensive Programmes in each seat. The materials (cca 900 items by the end) will be tested in a population of children of primary school age and their teachers coming from partner institutions who have been invited by the HEIs in each countries. These partners (HU: a primary school, NL: Vocaal Talent, SC: NYCoS) have children choirs as well as CPD programmes, so the testing procedure could be extended to practising teachers, too.A new IOS platform based app (KODA) developed specifically for music teachers with features like games for developing musical writing, reading skills, and a lesson-planner will be used. The third intellectual output is a special platform, the Kodály-hub which will be designed to meet the unique needs of music educators. All other intellectual outputs will be uploaded to the Kodály-hub throughout the project and will be made publicly available. This hub will act as a center for updated music education information, methodology, didactics, it will be open for new partners, countries to upload new contents, good practices upon a careful professional pre-check of the materials’ confirmity to the Kodályian principles. This hub will also be used as an effective dissemination tool, though other regular dissemination channels will be promoted as well. At the end of the 30-month project 3 consecutive multiplier events will be organised in all 3 countries where apart from educators, policy makers of schools educations will be invited.The sustainability will be secured by the future implementation of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree and by inviting more and more new educators, partners, countries to upload their materials to the Kodály-hub from all over the world. The major impact of the project is to bring up a new, fully competent well trained and musically inspired generation of music teachers, therefore children can receive regular and high quality music education as part of their primary school curriculum.
