The music curriculum at Centennial is largely based
 
 
on the teachings and philosophy of Zoltan Kodaly.
 
 
The Kodaly method is a highly sequential and
 
 
developmental method which uses the voice as the
 
 
main instrument. The goal of the Hungarian based
 
 
method is to promote musical literacy through folk
 
 
tunes and the child's own singing voice. Each child
 
has 2 music lessons per week. Each lesson is filled
 
with skills such as singing, playing instruments,
music games, folk dancing, reading, writing and
creating music. The main goal of the music program
at Centennial is to produce a musically literate child
who can go on to enjoy music through out his/her
lifetime.
