In M.int Seedlings, students will be taught musicianship fundamentals inspired by the Kodály Method of musical education, a world-renowned approach that specialises in child-friendly game-based learning. The course is designed to precede, and ultimately complement instrumental lessons to form an unrivalled, balanced, and comprehensive musical education unique to M.int Academy.

As Seedlings build on key musical skills such as pulse, pitch, rhythm, musical memory and inner hearing, they will engage with playground songs, rhymes, and rhythmic movement to enhance their musical understanding. Throughout the course, students will develop the ability to differentiate between dynamics and tempos; identify and vocalise high and low pitches; sing individually at pitch; and maintain a steady beat using movement and handheld percussion instruments.

The benefits of the Kodály method extend beyond music; research has shown it also enhances numerical, linguistic, and social skills!
