ZeneZen: The Kokas-Piano-Kodály Master Class
In 2016, a new master class will be launched in the Institute, by Aniko and her colleague, Professor Katalin Körtvési.
ZeneZen is a new approach in the teaching of piano performance that aims at increasing the technical and musical skills through the integration of a comprehensive and in-depth training of general musicianship according to the Kodaly concept and through the possibilities of self-expression, communal creativity, and a refined sense of communication based on empathy manifested in the Kokas pedagogy.
