Music and singing are the same age as mankind. Music is the rhythmical alternation of silence and the sound of musical instruments which generate feelings in people. Music has constantly developed, changed for thousands of years.

Our ancestors have bequeathed wealthy folk song adaptations to us, and our composers have left huge composed music treasure Thus it all has become part of our general knowledge. However, nobody's knowledge of the world is complete if he does not cultivate, does not listen to music.

In our days the modernized and urbanized world˘s musical genres, as for example rock and disco together with the different kinds of post-modern "melodies" take people's attention totally away from the fascination of folk music and classical melodies. Frequently such events even generate depression in people,

Kodály in his age already noticed it in time and he created a music pedagogy method which has already trained a lot of people since their childhood to preserve and improve their gift and knowledge of music. Folk music is the base of it and the works which came into being in the spirit of folk music. Kodály knew that human voice, common singing can be the accessible source of musical life for everybody. His purpose was acquisition of musical writing-reading - for this the means is 'relative solmization'.

This is 'Kodály-method' which is used in numerous parts of the world for musical education of the children - since every nation's purpose is preservation of their values and further development of their musical traditions.
