Kodály Vic Courses
The Victorian Model
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.
The model alternates between two systems:
- 8 half day weekend lectures in each semester
- 12 week-night after-school lectures in each semester.
Semester One subjects:
- Pedagogy
- Practicum
- Materials
Semester Two subjects:
- Musicianship
- Conducting
- Ensemble
Students wishing to attain the Australian Kodály Certificate must complete 3 levels in each subject within one stream: Primary, Secondary or Early Childood. The AKC is normally completed over three years.
