The Ferenc Erkel Primary School of Gödöllő has been operating with specialised music classes since the 1970s. During the past decades our choirs have had countless success in domestic and international choir’s competitions. Currently, there are two choirs at our school with pupils from the music classes, one for children aged from 9 to 11 years old and the other for children from 12 to14 years old. The “Kicsinyek Kórusa” /The Little Ones’ Choir/ started to work of such composition since 3 year. The Choir regularly participates not only in programmes of the school and the town but also in choir festivals and competitions. In 2018 in Budapest this choir was the winner of its category and received the prize Laure Cum Laude. The Choir has two leaders, Ms Livia Sándor and Mrs Somogyiné Andrea Kovacs. Both has a Masters degree in Music Teaching from the University of Eger. Moreover they have completed a choir leadership course under the direction of István Párkai. The choir has a repertoire of mainly contemporary and twentieth century works of Hungarian composers.
Livia Sándor received her teaching degree in singing in Eger in 1981. Throughout her career, she has conducted children's choir, traditional and special choirs. In Singing Youth's annual competitions, they have been awarded a gold rating and twice the title of Choir of the Year. This year she led the Little Children's Choir with Andrea Somogyiné Kovács and won the title for the third time. Andrea graduated from the University of Eger in 1991 and has led schools’ choirs since then. The first place in the Olmütz International Competition is a remarkable achievement. In ‘Singing Youth Competitions’ they have always got a gold diploma. Both of the two conductors were students of István Párkai, a graduate of the high school conductor training. Their choirs have been successful in national and international competitions. The greatest success they have achieved together is the winning the Children's Choir category at the 3rd Laurea Mundi International Competition receiving Laurea Cum Laude qualification.
