My Kodály one stop shop

It’s great to have a readily available ‘one-stop shop’ for all things Kodály. Helen hosts regular live sessions where we not only get to practice our musicianship, but pick up really cool teaching tips and discuss aspect of teaching that are more general eg. setting fees, contracts & imposter syndrome. As a Teach: Piano member I’m benefitting loads from Helen’s detailed video explanations and adaptable lesson plans. Helen is not only a great teacher but a fabulous role model too!

Fun, inspiring and beautifully planned teaching strategies
I have been a professional musician for decades, but Helen and Doremi have helped open my ears and eyes to what can be achieved as a musician and as a classroom teacher. Barely a week goes by when I am not borrowing from her hugely fun, inspiring and beautifully planned strategies for helping young students improve their musicianship and pianism.

The lesson plans are amazing

I have learnt so much from Helen. It is a joy to participate in her classes and the online discussion groups are full of fun and learning. There is something there for Kodály enthusiasts at any level. Helen is always encouraging, non judgemental and full of energy and has made my Kodály teaching so much easier and more organised. Her “microstep” lesson plans are amazing. Read more “The lesson plans are amazing”
I wish I’d found you years ago
Helen’s training is outstanding. I no longer need to fill the “understanding gaps” left by some other materials. Instead I am free to use Helen’s microsteps as a stable springboard for my own inspiration/creativity. It’s transformed my teaching and finally given me the confidence to charge what I’m worth. And it is a pleasure to be part of the encouraging, inspiring Doremi online community. I wish I’d found you years ago!! Read more “I wish I’d found you years ago”
