The Kodály Association of Southern California (KASC)
was established in 1980 by Katinka Scipiades Daniel. Mrs. Daniel, who
is a charter member of the International Kodály Society, developed the
curriculum of the Kodály Method for the United States, which was
personally approved by Jenö Adám and Zoltán Kodály. Throughout her
years of teaching in North America, Mrs. Daniel has authored many
books, produced several videos, and has been the recipient of many
awards. Many of her former students have achieved positions of
prominence throughout the country: Sr. Lorna Zemke, Lois Choksy, Dr.
John Feierabend, Dr. Joy Nelson, and Dr. Katherine Hickey.
Among the countless achievements of KASC over the past twenty years,
some highlights include the establishment of a formal Kodály
Certification Program in 1980, endorsed by OAKE, the 1983 Kodály
Festival in celebration of Kodály’s Centennial, the 1987 National OAKE
Conference, and the Annual Spring Choral Festival, which began in
1986.
With 97 members and growing, KASC is one of the
largest OAKE chapters in the country! Be sure to stop by the
