The British Kodály Academy is a registered charity working for the improvement of music education in the UK, and has been running training courses since 1983. The BKA currently runs an annual programme of courses and activities for people wanting to develop their own musical skills, or to teach music to others, using principles advocated by Zoltan Kodály.
Colourstrings was the first to offer music education from a very young age in the UK. In Finland (where it all started) it has been a core part of the state music education for more than thirty years and is now an internationally respected way of teaching music to children. It is an extension of the Kodály philosophy. Many local education authorities in Britain are now introducing Colourstrings into their schools.
The Kodály Centre of London was set up in 1992 and is run by David and Yoko Vinden who both trained at the Kodály Institute in Kecskemét, Hungary. The centre provides weekly classes in Kodály musicianship at three levels. As well as providing classes David and Yuko can give workshops to order for Music Services, individual schools, colleges and Universities.
