PRESTO - A Pan-European Collaborative Project to Respond to the Challenges of On-Line Music Teaching
A 5-strong project consortium led by the Kodály Institute of the Liszt Academy has been awarded a significant funding of ~270.000€ through the Erasmus+ ‘Strategic Partnerships Call in Response to Covid-19’.
The two-year long project called ‘PRESTO: Practices and Resources for Equipping Schools to Teach Music Online’ started on the last week of April, 2021. The consortium will develop multimedia resources and best-practice guidance for remote music teaching in the school sector in the areas of classroom-based music, instrumental music, and choral music.
Together with choral, university and entrepreneur partners from Finland (Caprice Oy, the owner of Minifiddlers who offers the Colourstrings courses), from Scotland (NYCoS, the National Youth Choir of Scotland), and from Ireland (Sing Ireland, the leading choir association of Ireland and the School of Theology, Philosophy, and Music of DCU), this wonderful team will work to provide innovative solutions for building resilience and flexibility into a sector whose activities have been gravely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

A new album has been released under HUNGAROTON label by contraalto Judit Rajk presenting a special collection of 20th - 21st century Hungarian compositions from Kodály's rarely recorded ballads and folk song arrangements to contemporary composers such as Zoltán Jeney, Barnabás Dukay and Máté Balogh representing the emerging generation of composers. Although the bases of the works in this recording differ, they share one point in common: they use a small slice of the past in a daring and unique manner, whether it is actually used or merely as an element of inspiration. The challenge for the performer is to decide how to enrich this “past”, this time of tradition, with her own tempo.
