Augustana professor and director of Music Ardelle Ries was named an honourary member of the Kodály Society of Canada in acknowledgment of her outstanding service to music education in Canada. Ardelle is a strong advocate of the role music plays in all facets of life, specifically in education, and has shown her dedication to the craft both through her work at University of Alberta Augustana Campus and through her commitment outside of the college. “I am so honoured to have been recognized by the Kodály Society of Canada and am deeply grateful to my teachers, colleagues, choristers, students, family, and friends who have helped me along my lifelong pedagogical journey over the last 36 years,” remarked Ardelle. Jody Stark, assistant professor of music education at the University of Manitoba and current president of the Kodály Society of Canada, conferred this honour upon professor Ries at the Kodály Society annual general meeting last summer. “From time to time, our association honours someone who has made a marked impact in the Canadian Kodály community. It is my great privilege today to confer an honourary membership on our beloved professor Ardelle Ries,” said Stark. Ries studied conducting at the University of Alberta, where she completed her Doctor of Music degree and holds an advanced musicianship diploma from the Zoltán Kodály Pedagogical Institute in Kecskemét, Hungary, where she has also served as a faculty member. While in Hungary, Ardelle also taught at the Kodály Conservatory. The Kodály Society of Canada is a vibrant national service organization that has provided professional learning support for music educators across Canada for nearly 50 years. “Ever since I began teaching, I have been deeply influenced and inspired by the philosophies of Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist and music educator, Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967),” said Ardelle. “His philosophy that all people have musical ability, music education should be universal and begin at

a young age and that all music education should be based on singing, speaks to the depths of my soul.” Along with her roles as professor and music director at Augustana, she is also the Augustana choral conductor, president of the Alberta Choral Association, advisor to the Alberta Kodály Association and a director of the Kodály Society of Canada. “Committed to Kodály’s ideas, my career has been dedicated to music education, music advocacy, and the development of profes-
sional learning opportunities for others.” In 2017, Ardelle chaired the International Kodály Symposium on behalf of the Kodály Society of Canada and the Alberta Kodály Association. The Symposium brought a world of music to the residents of Camrose and area and was so successful that it was able to infuse funds into both the Alberta Kodály Association and Kodály Society of Canada.
