Joy Through the Magic of Music
Book

“In her work as a teacher, Klára Kokas has been led by her admiration and respect for the autonomy of the self. She helps personality to evolve, to be known, to be strengthened. She employs music and dance to make this very complex thing happen to the essence of our unmistakable identity that we all bring with us from birth.

Klára Kokas is a teacher in the most ancient sense of the word: magician, ascetic, saint. She makes an offering not only of her knowledge, but of her entire highly-refined personality. It is probably this secret of hers that the children - whom she teaches to enjoy the freedom of movement and to love the gifts of music - learn to understand unaware. The secret of how we, immured in our selves, can reach somebody else, immured in another self; of how that encounter refines both; of how art can make our body and soul speak.

In all of her writings a sense of freedom shines forth, deeps as well as responsible.”

Foreword and dedication by Péter Nádas, writer
