We will be offering our FSR classes online throughout the 2020-2021 academic school year via Zoom taught by Diane Geller and Dr. Kathy Hickey. Full Kodály Certification includes completion of three levels of Core and Folk Song courses.

FOLK SONG RESEARCH I includes the study of Anglo ballads and reviews United States history through song, from colonial to modern times. Each student prepares a collection of thirty songs with Standard Analysis. 

A survey of American folk songs.  Emphasis will be on becoming familiar with America's folk music, and its unique correlation with American history.  This level deals with songs from Colonial times through Workers of America and Workers of the West.  Ballads are included in this Level.  Classes will include lecture, singing and analyzing folk songs, music listening, and video/ media excerpts, historical and cultural context of songs, and application to music education.  Part of the class' hours are non-contact hours, expected to be devoted to individual research and analysis, and topic presentations. (Ex: Each level is 30 hours; 17.5 contact hours, 13.5 research/analysis hours.)
