Focus Question one asks: How can the teaching concepts of Zoltan Kodaly be incorporated into the general music classroom? An instructional plan and rubric has been used to collect data for focus question one. The instructional plan and rubric incorporated the teaching concepts of Zoltan Kodaly into the general music classroom through the utilization of many activities. Students sang and played simple songs, nursery rhythms and singing games. Students played rhythms of melodies by tapping (lap, desk, table top or floor); chanted the melody’s rhythm using “ta’s” and “ti’s”. Students listened to and analyzed music in terms of dynamics, tempo and timbre; used movement (walking and jogging motions) to demonstrate principles of rhythm (long and short) and beat. Students participated in rhythmic dictation, group internal singing exercises and individual internal singing exercises. Students were also asked to sing melodies and/ or chant these melodies on “ta’s” and “ti’s”. The data from these activities have been analyzed qualitatively: coded for recurring, dominant and emerging themes. The following codes were established: Singing Exercises (SE), Instruments/ Body Percussion (IBP) and Movement/ Rhythm/ Beat (MRB).
