Hi, I'm Helen!
Hi, I’m Helen Russell and I created Kodály Kickoff for Piano Teachers because I’m obsessed with helping other piano teachers get started with this magical singing-based approach.
Before I discovered the Kodály Approach I often struggled to explain complex musical concepts and didn’t have a reliable strategy to identify where a student was going wrong in their understanding or performance. It was hard work.
Over the last 10 years I have studied Kodály pedagogy and applied it to piano teaching. Innovating, trialling and refining with hundreds of students just like yours. And I can’t wait to share my expertise with you.
