Teacher Training & Workshops
Kodály Training for Classroom and Instrumental Teachers
Kodály Training for classroom and instrumental teachers is available both in the UK and abroad. Kodály Musicianship training for adults is available on line
In The UK
Teacher training in the UK is delivered by Len Tyler in a number of ways from a twilight training session to a full day or two day workshop.
A series of "Kodály in the Klassroom" workshops will be reinstated once life return to normal. These events usually take the form of a two day workshop (single day attendance by arrangement) in York and Farnborough (Hants) but other venues could be considered.

Abroad
Teacher training abroad is organised on an individual basis and requires good local support to help organise accommodation and local transport.
Workshops abroad have been delivered in Kenya, Uganda, Malta, South Africa and Pakistan, with more planned for China and Poland as well as return visits to previously visited countries.
There is a small fund that can give financial support for travel expenses in certain circumstances. For details of how to donate to this fund and support teacher training oversees click here

Further Teacher Training
Also highly recommended are teacher training courses for early years and primary classroom teachers and piano teachers provided by Nikhil Dally of Stepping Notes Music. Nikhil is a highly respected Kodály and Dalcroze practitioner with many years’ experience delivering music lessons for early years and primary children as well as taking a somewhat different and very successful approach to teaching piano musicianship. His courses are frequently oversubscribed. Click here for details.
