Kodály mindenkié
Documentary film screening

The Kodály concept is usually associated with attributes such as world-famous, unique, protected intellectual heritage, and we are proud that Hungary is its place of origin. But are we actually aware of what a great treasure we possess? Do we know how this legacy is regarded around the world? This documentary recounts the international triumphant march and successes of the Kodály concept from China through Europe to the United States. Renowned music pedagogists and musicians talk about how their teaching methods and thinking about music were changed when they discovered Kodály’s philosophy and understood the deep humanism of his system.

Kodály’s music pedagogical legacy is a gem of Hungarian cultural heritage, and it is more alive and more significant than ever. An American master of the field has termed it as follows: “Nothing had a greater influence in 20th century music education than the pedagogy that bears Zoltán Kodály’s name.” The world is undoubtedly envious of us for having a music education system that was created by Kodály and his colleagues. Our task is to preserve and carry on the legacy. 

86-minute documentary with Hungarian subtitles.
