Abstract

In this study, we were able to further the music education research in Hungary that Dr. Jerry Jaccard has been implementing for many years. Hungary has one of the most sophisticated and successful music education systems in the world. My research group and I will be using this information we found to improve our music education system in the United States. We each had a specific area of research. I focused on the effect of physical movement on vocal development. In Hungary, they use the Kodaly Music Education System. In the United States, we use a modified version of it. With the grant money I received, I was able to pay for my flight to Hungary. For other expenses—such as the hotel, food, rental cars—I was able to save and use my own funds.
