In the music education lesson, the choral-vocal singing is an activity with great teaching and educational possibilities. It is one of the most accessible ways of interpreting music in school. This article methodologically investigates the completeness of the music education lesson with the dominant activity of vocal-choral singing.

Over the past few years, restorative justice and transformative justice have taken on greater research importance in the scholarly community. These two forms of social justice offer ways of dealing with harms that result from conflict. The claim of this chapter is that these two types of justice can be used to structure and shape pedagogy in music education. Research suggests that choral singing within a prison context and the particular pedagogies employed therein can be shaped positively through restorative and transformative justice. Prison choir performances humanize prisoners and bring greater public awareness to their lives. If one accepts the premise that the use of restorative and transformative justice in musical teaching and learning enacts forms of healing, then their application has great potential to create encouraging learning environments and provide tools for music teachers to support the social needs of their learning communities.

Zoltán Kodály (1882–1967), one of the foremost figures of Hungarian culture and choral music in the twentieth century, laid the foundations of a new music pedagogical approach during the times immediately preceding and following the years of World War II. His concept of music education can be summarized into two important goals: (1) to draw more people near to classical musical art while developing the necessary skills in them for its in-depth understanding and reception, (2) to create opportunities from these precious musical experiences for the shaping of personality and the creation of valuable community bonds. Kodály Zoltán’s art was centered around choral music; singing and choral singing are of paramount importance in his educational philosophy. According to him singing was the most important tool for the development of musical literacy. And choral singing was a gateway to life-long inspiration received from the performance of masterpieces.

Integrated approaches in the pedagogy of general and pre-professional music education are quite in demand. Historically, an integrated approach is used throughout the educational fi eld of “art”. This article describes a new approach to the use of integration in choral classes in pre-professional education of children, which is the most eff ective and optimizing the process of vocal-choral learning. In the class on choral singing, integration is represented both by polygamousness and kinesthetics. Kinesthetic method of work in particular promotes a deeper understanding of the fundamental aspects and principles of choral singing in a children’s collective.
