Kodály classes Kodály musicianship classes create a playful atmosphere where children use the voice as their first instrument.

Children are actively engaged as they develop music skills — including in-tune singing, rhythm, tempo, melody and dynamics — through voice and select instruments.

Parental involvement is an essential component of the Kodály program. Parents join their children for the final 10 minutes of each 45-to-60-minute class and are encouraged to share musical activities at home.

Some classes are held at Vecova Centre, 3304 33rd St. NW. Enrolment is accepted in September and February.

Orff classes Using their voices to speak and sing, and their bodies to move and dance, children in Orff classes joyously progress from musical imitation to improvisation and literacy. Weekly classes (45 to 60 minutes in length) are based on what children like to do: sing, chant rhymes, clap, dance and keep a beat on anything near at hand.

These instincts are directed into learning music by hearing and making it first, and then by reading and writing music later, as age appropriate.

At the end of the term, each class performs in one of MRU’s beautiful theatres. The whole family is invited to celebrate the children’s accomplishments. All Orff classes are unparented.

Some classes are held at Vecova Centre, 3304 33rd St. NW.
