The aim of this small book is to assist those who wish to visit the places significant in Zoltán Kodály's life and work in Budapest – either in practice or only virtually. Several of the buildings listed here would be visited by the interested reader or tourist anyway unaware of Kodály's links with them. Perhaps they will learn more about his connections to these places from this source. 

On 10 March, more than sixty former Kodály Institute students, their colleagues, their students, and leading officers of the Irish Kodály Society and its members attended the Dublin event initiated by the Kodály Institute. 

The latest addition to the Institute's Bookshop is the DVD entitled Teaching Piano for Beginners. 

It comes with an explanatory booklet in English and in Hungarian. 

Every year, the Institute organises a 3-5-day long programme in February or March, when, instead of the regular lessons, students have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of special lectures, workshops and other activities that do not fit into the regular timetable. 

The Foundation for the Kodály Institute is pleased to announce the following scholarships for the 2018-2019 academic year.

On the occasion of the double Kodály anniversary, teachers of the Academy of Music and its Kodály Institute were invited to several partner universities and institutions in many parts of the world to present Kodály's music pedagogical heritage and compositions in courses and concerts.

The Kodály anniversary event in Kecskemét was organized at the Kodály Institute on 16 December.

Dr Andrea Vigh, rector of the Liszt Ferenc University of Music and Klaudia Szemerey-Pataki, mayor of the town, announced the launch of the Institute's infrastructural development and expansion project.  

The month of December was full of musical events.

Students of the Institute gave concerts, and in open classes they demonstrated what they had learnt during the academic year.

Erzsébet Szőnyi – retired leading professor of the Liszt Academy, holder of the Kossuth Prize, the Erkel Prize, the Apáczai Csere János Prize and the Bartók-Pásztory Prize, composer and music pedagogue, Artist of the Nation – decided to donate her music collection to the Kodály Institute. 

On 13 October, the Kodály Institute of the Liszt Academy signed a cooperation agreement with the Calvinist Elementary School in Kecskemét: as of the autumn of 2016, also Kodály’s home town will launch a model class applying the world-renowned music pedagogy combined with 21st-century methods.

Within the framework of an international strategic cooperation programme, with the Liszt Academy as the lead organisation, partner institutions from Budapest, the Netherlands and Scotland will collaborate to carry out methodological improvements in music education based on the principles of the Kodály method.
