F
OR THE FIRST TIME, New Saint Andrews College will
be offering a two-week intensive summer course, July 24–
August 4, 2017, designed specifically for training Chris-
tian teachers of music from around the country.
PURPOSE
Chenaniah Summer Music Institute aims to equip mu-
sic teachers with the skills needed for a successful music lit-
eracy program. All instruction is done through the lens of a
Christian worldview. Participants will receive instruction in
singing-based music training with an emphasis on the Kodály
methods and pedagogy. This comprehensive approach to music
education, developed by Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály,
uses a sequential curriculum of games, folk music and singing
to inspire students of all ages to love music and develop musical
literacy skills.
The unique part of this course of study is its integration of
Christianity with the Kodály methodology. This pairing will en-
tail classes which look at music and theology as well as how a
biblical worldview can affect and permeate the teaching of music.
