Kodály Kickoff for Piano Teachers
Want to start using the Kodály Approach in your piano lessons?
How long have you known about the Kodály Approach?
I first heard about it AGES before I started to use it in my teaching. And now I can’t live without it! Active singing is the key to enjoyment and success! I’m determined to smooth your way from a lurker to an expert! And getting started is the first step.
Simple & Effective
I will teach you the simplest and most effective activities to…
… demystify that Kodály thing and finally get started
… reduce the anxiety that comes with trying something new
… engage your students in a new way so they can’t wait to learn more
Develop your own skills
Teaching with the Kodály Approach will…
… improve YOUR singing confidence
… give you strategies for multiple contexts
… help you worry less about practice, books and exams!
Customise to suit YOUR teaching style
By understanding the pedagogy behind the approach, you will feel empowered to customise it for your current teaching style. Sounds pretty cool, right?
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.

It has changed how I approach everything
Ever since I found Helen and Doremi Connect I have felt part of such a supportive community. Everyone is so knowledgeable and happy to share their teaching experiences. I am absolutely transformed and it has changed how I approach everything! Thank you to Helen and fellow members for all of your wonderful support. Read more “It has changed how I approach everything”
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”
Warm, friendly and fun
Helen’s live sessions are so warm, friendly and fun! And so well structured. Helen is approachable and clearly knows her stuff! I started by dipping my toe into Kodály musicianship; now I’m using her Teach Piano Lesson Plans. I knew my students would love them, but I didn’t realise HOW much they would love them!
