Vocals and tone formations

Abstract

The Music Education Conference 2021 of the Department of Singing and Music of the Eötvös Lorand University Faculty of Primary and Pre-School Education focused on Hungarian music and culture. The two lectures in the subtitles of this paper are related. Both topics are important areas of early childhood education. Setting a good example with correct tone formation and articulation, creating a clear and appropriate text for our mother tongue, and exercises that guide us to the original tone formation and correct singing are crucial for education. The aims of our music education are based on the concept of Zoltán Kodály. The essential element of the Kodály concept is that singing leads most directly to the experience and understanding of music. In our vocal-based music education, the singing approach must be much more prominent. Singing liberates, enriches and gives joy. Technical knowledge provides the means to solve musical tasks. Active music-making, singing and the development of musical skills offer the opportunity for the reception of the content of art, personal development and musical development.
