This intensive training on Kodaly Teaching Method which organised by Young Choral Academy (30 May - 10 June 2011)

It was a very intensive training and up to a certain point I told myself I really need a time off :-)  The whole Kodaly Primary Level One emphasis lots on Musicianship training and Teaching Methodology.  I understand that some of the participants struggled in singing and hand sign and playing the piano at the same time.  Please imagine you have to sing a minor (natural) scale and at the same time you have to play it on the piano but a 3rd apart.  It was a very challenging tasks for me too but it is very good in body and mind coordinating.

Looking forward to the next level - Level two training on December this year end.
