About Us
The CSUB Kodály Institute invites you to study the tried and true teaching practices and philosophy of Zoltan Kodály as we bring his legacy into the 21st Century for 21st Century teachers and students. You will gain knowledge and skills that will transform your teaching, whether you have prior Kodály experience and want to advance into deeper waters or whether this highly effective approach is new to you.
The CSUB Institute is fully endorsed by the Organization of American Kodály Educators and provides all three levels (I, II, and III) and all five areas of study required to earn the prestigious OAKE/CSUB Certificate. Each annual three-week session runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and your daily schedule will include coursework in Pedagogy, Musicianship, age-appropriate Music Literature, Conducting, and participation in the CSUB Teachers’ Chorus.
