You know you want to teach in a Kodály-inspired way but...

Introducing Doremi

Hi, I'm Helen!

I founded Doremi Connect to help teachers like you feel supported and confident integrating the Kodály approach into their teaching.

Many teachers are totally convinced by the benefits of the Kodály Approach. However, despite completing training and buying books, they still aren’t using it fully in their teaching.

I’m not surprised. It took me over a decade to fully integrate it into my piano and music teaching so that I was satisfied my students were getting all the benefits. A decade of studying with the best Kodály practitioners, innovating, trialling and refining my lesson plans with hundreds of students just like yours.

I created Doremi Connect so I can pass on all of that expertise to you, including all my sequenced, detailed lessons plans. You don’t have to struggle any more. Join Doremi and start feeling confident and empowered.

What's Inside the Membership?

Teach Piano with Kodály

The Teach Piano Roadmap starts with my introduction course Kodály Kickoff for Piano Teachers. You can then work through my 46 lessons across 8 modules for beginner piano students. Including downloadable plans, video walkthroughs, teacher guides and all the scores and resources.

Integrating the benefits of Kodály musicianship into your piano lessons. The lesson plans contain detailed, step-by-step instructions so you will know exactly what to do, and when, to lead your beginner students to success not only as pianists but as rounded musicians and solfa superstars.

Teach Music with Kodály

The Teach Music Roadmap guides you through 36 lessons (and growing) across 6 modules. Including downloadable plans, video walkthroughs, teacher guides and all the scores and resources. Ensuring your young musicians use their singing voices to get the benefits of Kodály music education. Perfect for extra curricular music groups or classroom teaching.

Then perfectly complementing the detailed lesson plans, my Masterclasses take you on a deep dive through the teaching process of one element.

Improve Your Musicianship

The Musicianship Roadmap guides you through the sequenced video courses included inside Doremi. Each course is broken down into manageable video lessons and your progress is tracked so you can pick up where you left off. And because they’re recorded live, it’s like being in a real class!

Throughout the courses, Helen pops in teaching tips for those of you who are teaching older students.

Anne Ralph takes a deeper look into famous pieces of classical music with musicianship activities for all abilities. And practise your solfa fluency with Rebecca Willson’s multi-genre exercises.

And so much more...

Access our valuable library of interviews with fascinating expert Kodály musicians and educators.

We have courses to support all the boring business bits that you need to pay the bills when you’re self-employed.

I’m a whizz at tech too, so you’ll find sessions to solve all sorts of technical challenges. Including digital lesson notes and notation software.

What do our members think?

Helen's lesson plans are amazing. I use them word for word. I don’t have the capacity to write them myself. And why would I, when someone who has far more experience and knowledge is writing them. And I'm learning by teaching those lesson plans, which is so valuable. I love being part of the supportive, non-judgemental community. It was a very lonely job, but now we all have each other.
Beth, Music Teacher
Bedfordshire, UK
Helen’s piano training is outstanding. My students no longer have “understanding gaps” left by some other materials. And looking at my old favourites through the Doremi microsteps lens has changed how I use them. It’s transformed my teaching and finally given me the confidence to charge what I’m worth. I wish I’d found you years ago!
Estelle Pringle, Piano Teacher
North Yorkshire, UK
This year my Kindergarten students have made amazing progress in building a solid understanding of beat and pitch. The lessons and sequence of the preparation, presentation and practice are well laid out for teachers to use and students to learn. Doremi Connect has been a wonderful addition to my tool box, and the students love it. Well done, Helen!
Nancy Martin, Music Teacher
California, USA
It’s really good to have the lessons planned for me. The walkthrough videos are really helpful, Helen talks me through the whole thing. And I know if I’m struggling I can just ask in the forum. Knowing there are other teachers doing the same thing makes me feel supported and gives me more confidence.

Here's how it works

Step 1: Choose your first roadmap

Join the membership and start the roadmap that’s right for you.

  • Teach Piano Roadmap for piano teachers
  • Teach Music Roadmap for group or class music teachers
  • Musicianship Roadmap for developing your own musicianship skills
  • Or all three!! You can pick and choose what you use and when

Each Roadmap guides you through your chosen path with carefully designed, sequential courses and downloadable resources. Starting with a course for total beginners if that’s what you are looking for.

Your personal progress is saved, so you can pop in and out, review previous steps or even work through multiple roadmaps at the same time.

You can do as little or as much as you like, and work through as quickly or slowly as you need. All from the comfort of your own home!

Step 2: Browse the library

We also have guest interviews, money and business courses and technical tutorials for you to dip into. Think of it as an online magazine!

You can mark each one as completed as you watch them, so you can keep track of what you’ve seen. But of course as with everything inside Doremi, you can rewatch as many times as you like.

Doremi Piano is perfect, it's what I’ve always been looking for. I've tried so many different methods before but now I'm all Doremi. I am absolutely transformed and it has changed how I approach everything. Everyone's very welcoming and kind, and Helen's always there with her great ideas and support. It's a great investment in yourself and I’m learning all the time.
Angela Buckley, Piano Teacher
Waterford, Ireland
I always struggled with layering the PPP approach over the long term. It was quite overwhelming at times. But Helen's resources are all so clear, calm and so well structured that when I teach with them, I know I am teaching well thought out lessons, rooted in a deep musical pedagogy. Helen's videos and lesson plans make everything so easy, and take the stress out of it all.

I love the opportunity to learn and practice by singing along to the musicianship videos. And I have gained so much confidence and understanding of music theory. It gives me more confidence in front of my choirs and classes.
Es Hoyle, Community Musician

Helen has created such a lovely, friendly, supportive community where people can share their worries and speak their mind whilst receiving helpful replies and being treated as a friend. It’s not always easy to find lovely places on the internet. It’s really special.
Rebecca Willson, Instrumental and Musicianship Teacher
Devon, UK
Connecting with the Doremi community has been a delight. Helen is full of knowledge and experience. She really teaches what she preaches and continues to be reflective and outward looking. She is so, so kind, yet always adheres to the robust principles of Kodály based learning.
