Holiday Workshops

Early Childhood Music Education Workshop: 13 - 17 July

Kodaly Music Education Institute of Australia (KMEIA) NSW Branch and do-re-mi in collaboration with the Sydney Conservatorium of Music Open Academy present:

Dr John Feierabend - music and movement development in early childhood: 0-8yrs & beyond.

Dr. John M. Feierabend is considered one of the leading authorities on music and movement development in early childhood. He is Professor of Music and Director of the Music Education Division at The Hartt School of the University of Hartford.

Dr. Feierabend makes frequent presentations both in the United States and abroad, and is the author of over 60 books, articles, CDs, DVDs, and videotapes. A music educator for over 30 years, Dr. Feierabend continues to be committed to collecting, preserving, and teaching diverse folk music and using it as a bridge to help children understand and enjoy classical music.

That repertoire has served as the basis for his two music curricula: First Steps in Music, a music and movement program for infants through early elementary age children, and Conversational Solfege, a music literacy method for use in general music classes.

In 2007 he received the Outstanding Educator Award by the Organization of American Educators (OAKE), in recognition of many contributions to OAKE, Kodály pedagogy, and his students.
