This DVD showcases the collaboration between the
award-winning Voices of Unity (VOU) youth gospel choir from Ft. Wayne, Indiana and Dr. Eva Floyd from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. Using
Kodály-inspired pedagogical techniques, Dr. Floyd prepared VOU for participation in the Laurea Mundi International Honor Choir Festival in Budapest, Hungary.
The DVD and appendix materials outline the short-term instructional unit that Dr. Floyd created for the project, which focused on finding entry points for the introduction of new terms, concepts, and skills within the choir’s comfort zone (known to unknown). The experience-based instruction was sequentially planned from the starting point of reading/navigating a choral music score to being prepared to work efficiently with the honor choir conductor in Budapest. The goal of the project was to implement instruction that reflected Kodály’s vision of a good musician as articulated in his 1953 speech to students at the Liszt Academy—balanced development of students’ technique, musical understanding, ear training, and heart—throughout the teaching and learning process, ultimately making classical music accessible to singers with a strong background in soulful music.
DVD, 36 minutes.Sale price limited to quantity on hand.
