Certification Program

June 2 - 14, 2024

 

Embark on your Kodály training journey at WSU with the flexibility to choose between non-credit and graduate credit options.

For those aiming for five graduate credits, start by getting admitted to the WSU graduate school as either a degree-bound or non-degree student. We recommend the degree-bound master's student route, unless you already hold a master of music education degree. Reach out to Dr. Steve Oare for personalized guidance on the best fit for you.

Already admitted? Head to the MyWSU portal and easily add your desired classes using their CRN numbers. If you run into any hurdles, our team is here to assist. Let's make your Kodály experience a smooth and enriching one. Start your journey now!

Non-Credit Option

The non-credit fee per level is $600. Registration and payment for the non-credit option will be made through the School of Music Marketplace site.

Enrollment for Graduate Credit

Enroll seamlessly in WSU's online Kodály training for credit starting in April. To secure graduate credit, simply enroll in the relevant sections (methodology and solfège). Alongside the Kodály fee, include 5 hours of tuition at the workshop rate and associated student fees. Manage all costs conveniently through your WSU online enrollment and payment system.

If your school district covers the course fee, connect with us for tailored billing arrangements. The payment process will take place online after your enrollment is processed. Explore a short-term loan option offered by WSU if needed, and explore potential financial aid if you're taking additional hours.

For admission to the graduate school, a one-time charge applies. We're excited to collaborate with you on your Kodály journey. Enroll now and let's make music together!

Supplemental Courses

The following courses are designed and offered to further the education of OAKE Certified teachers from other training programs as well as level graduates.

Kodály Applications for Levels Graduates (MUSE767)

This workshop/course is designed for students who have completed their Kodály certification. The course assists students in continual development of their individual musicianship, mentoring, and research skills. Students can work individually or with the "applications group" to do folksong research, hone their musicianship (conducting/solfege) skills, or review methodology with levels instructors. Students will be encouraged to sing in the choir. Applications students also may mentor current students as a means of reviewing their levels materials. Some students may assist with grading levels content. What a great way to review your learning and be mentored by our great faculty members.
