KMI's focus is on improving the content and pedagogical knowledge of K-12 music teachers through content-rich areas of study based on the principles and philosophy of Zoltán Kodály. Participants improve their own musicianship by singing in both moveable do solfège and fixed letter names, conducting, and performing choral repertoire. Participants expand their pedagogical skills through singing/dancing multi-cultural folksongs, dances, singing games, jazz and classical art music; through researching, analyzing, and codifying musical materials; and through writing lesson plans and curriculum projects. Children attend on-site music classes/rehearsals that participants observe as live application of Kodálys principles. Music-teacher participants who successfully complete this institute will deepen their knowledge of the MA Arts Curriculum Framework concepts and skills as well as the MTEL music-teacher test content knowledge. Four concurrent levels are held each summer during the three weeks. KMI's full certificate, worth 20 graduate credits, is endorsed by the Organization of American Kodály Educators.
