The Kodály Center of America (KCA) was established in Wellesley, Massachusetts, in April 1977 by Denise Bacon, who had also founded the Kodály Musical Training Institute (KMTI) in 1969. The primary objective of both institutions was to promote music education in the United States according to the Kodály concept, a philosophy articulated by the Hungarian composer and educator Zoltán Kodály. KMTI and KCA trained master teachers, conducted research on American folk music, developed curricula and model schools, published resources for teaching and scholarship, and disseminated information. The Kodály Center of America records contain primarily KCA’s organizational records from 1977 to 2000. Additional materials include KMTI’s records, the bulk of which date from 1969 to 1977, and the personal and professional papers of Denise Bacon, which date from about 1900 to 2014.
