‘Whoever starts life with
music, their every activity will be brightened by her later, and they are given
a treasure of life which sees them through a lot of troubles. Music is a
nourishing and comforting elixir, and multiples life’s beauties and all that is
valuable therein.’ Zoltán Kodály
One of the most important goals
of the music school is to help children get to like singing, and be raised
adults who sing regularly. Even the youngest are given the opportunity, by
performing in small choirs – as part of their curriculum in solfège –, to raise
the splendor of the programmes at the music school and give happiness to their
parents and other members of the audience.
Children’s choir – director:
Boglárka Berkesi
In 2018, Boglárka Berkesi formed
a quality sounding choir from her groups of solfège at Mindszenty School. They
prepare for the performances (Charity concert – Mindszenty, Advent concert, closing
ceremony) in the solfège classes and extra rehearsals.
Girl’s choir – director: Mrs.
Judit Óhidi née Pál
The Girls’ choir is almost as old
as the school itself; it has been directed by Mrs. Óhidi since the academic
year of 2018/2019. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays in 90 minutes (4.30 – 6 pm).
Studens with a clear voice who have passed their base exam of solfège and like
singing together are sought in the choir. The repertoire of the choir is
constantly being extended with pieces that the students like.
‘Vespers Service’ Boys’ Choir –
director: Mrs. Ágnes Kecskés née Papp
‘In the millennial year, the
music school of Budaörs together with the Countess Zsuzsanna Bercsényi Town
Library initiated to celebrate the Vespers on St. Martin’s day (11th
Nov) in Latin; the office has been celebrated ever since in the catholic church
in honour of the medieval patron saint of the town and its church.’ Mrs. Kecskés
Mrs. Kecskés meets the boys’
choir once a week. The choir, which earlier convened to sing the Vespers, has extended
their repertoire with other pieces, thus, at the Advent concert, they enrich
the programme with Nativity songs. Members of the boys’ choir are provided the
opportunity to study solfège together as a community, taught to them also by Mrs.
Kecskés
