The Victorian branch of Kodály Australia

Kodaly Victoria is the Victorian branch of Kodály Australia (The Kodály Music Education Institute of Australia Incorporated), an organisation of people committed to music for everyone. We are united in the philosophy developed by Hungarian composer, Zoltan Kodály. Kodály stated that music education is the right of every child. He established that a sequential, cumulative and developmental program, based on an aural-vocal approach, is the most inclusive and effective way to develop musical literacy for people of all age groups.

2026 Teacher Training Courses

Kodály Victoria conducts annual Australian Kodály Certificate (AKC) courses.

The Victorian AKC Model consists of a series of lectures spaced across the year to allow for practice and reflection between sessions.

Enrolment is offered in two separate subject blocks, Part A (Pedagogy, Practicum & Materials) and Part B (Musicianship, Conducting & Choir), and can be studied concurrently or at separate times. Both parts must be completed in order to obtain each certificate level.
