Kodaly's views
on Music Education
Zoltan Kodaly, one of Hungary's most renowned contemporary music composer,conductor, expresses his views on Music Education.
As he says "...music is spiritual food for everybody" and it's "education should start nine months before the birth of the child".
He also implies that music should be part of general education regardless if someone, might be later on developing into a professional musician, every child should receive the same basic education of music. By the age of 14 all children should be on the same musical level.
