Processes Of Alienation: Marx, Orff And Kodaly, Cathy Benedict Jul 2009

Processes Of Alienation: Marx, Orff And Kodaly, Cathy Benedict

Music Education Publications

Using Marx as a lens through which to interrogate music methodology, in particular those espoused by Orff and Kodaly, this article suggests that rather than the free play and creativity Orff and Kodaly intended, the implementation of these methods in a strict and unmindful manner, often alienates both teacher and student from musicking.

The resulting structure and meaning are shown to …

A.D.P. Heeney was under-secretary of the department of external affairs from 1949-1952. When he became under-secretary, the department was under strain.
