Violin and Kodaly method

[PinotAndPlaydough]

I’m in the unenviable position of having to find my daughter a new violin teacher as her current one is moving away.
I think I’ve found someone who ticks all the boxes of price, availability etc. She has said she uses the Kodaly method which I’ve never heard of (I don’t have a musical bone in my body!). I’ve googled but I’d love some first hand experiences of this teaching method and what we can expect lessons to look like.

Hmm, I thought that was more a pre-instrument learning method, lots of rhythm and singing by ear, folk and classical snippets, do-re-mi. I've only seen it in preschool general music classes. Not aware of specifically violin things but I'd expect singing and good general musicianship grounding, particularly if your DD is younger/earlier stage. Like suzuki, as they get more advanced and are solid music readers it makes less specific difference and a good teacher is just a good teacher.
Sorry not super helpful, hopefully someone else has seen it in violin context.

Kodaly isn't a method of instrumental learning in the same was as Suzuki is, its a method of training general musicianship. Solfege is part of Kodaly as is a method of learning rhythms. Hand signs can be used which helps some children as a learning aid. It's used in singing a lot.

A teacher we once employed in our drama classes used Dalcroze & Kodaly and the kids tuning (intonation) and musicianship improved no end.
