Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the principles of sequence in notes, staves, chords, and textures in the Kodály’s textbook. The conclusions of the study are as follows: First, the first step to read and write music is to present only words and schedules without notes. Second, the step of the melody is a way of developing the complex scale by adding one note from the second scale, which is based on the folk song of the country. Third, the step of harmonic learning is constructed based on the principle of natural harmonics. Fourth, the step of the texture proceed with gradual differences in scale, rhythmic imitation, and compositional changes. Fifth, the Kodály’s textbook embodies the principles of the spiral conceptual model.
