Doremi Membership
with Helen Russell
For music and piano teachers who are inspired by the Kodály Approach
You know you want to teach in a Kodály-inspired way but...
- You feel despondent! You've invested in books & training, yet still don’t have any actual lesson plans
- You know WHAT you want but you don’t have the time or brain capacity to figure out how, when and why
- You’re emotionally exhausted by students struggling to learn notation
- You value aural skills but feel bad when you can’t integrate them successfully
- You feel like an imposter, so lack the confidence to defend your approach
Introducing Doremi
- Teach engaging, effective and stress-free piano and music lessons using the Kodály Approach, without becoming overwhelmed by planning
- Painlessly grow your students’ skills, understanding and confidence in a way that feels good to you
- Develop your own musicianship to improve your skills and confidence
- Regain your energy and enthusiasm for teaching
- Advocate for yourself, and your approach, to parents and school leaders
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?
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
No problem. Inside the membership we have our Solfa from Scratch course that gently takes you through the basics of Kodály musicianship for complete beginners.
Then the Musicianship Roadmap continues your journey.
Plus we have Kodály Kickoff for Piano Teachers, a from-scratch introduction to using the Kodály Approach in piano lessons.
Not at all.
As long as you’re willing to give it a try, the songs and games we use with our beginner students are perfect for you too. You can develop your skills and confidence alongside your students.
Nope, and you’re not alone. Lots of teachers are worried about their own reading skills.
Whilst all the songs we use do have a downloadable score for those that can read music. I’ve also created video walkthroughs and demonstrate all the songs for you so you can learn them by ear. Plus, as you take your students through the curriculum, you’ll find your own reading skills will develop too.
We have many members who aren’t teachers and they just enjoy following our Musicianship Roadmap and attending our live musicianship workshops to develop their own skills.
The courses and resources are there for you to pick and choose. So you’re very welcome to join us, whatever your background.
We have members from all across the USA, Europe and even Australia. All the Doremi content is available 24/7 so it doesn’t matter where you are, or when you want to access the resources.
You’ll set a username and password that gives you access to our member content.
Then you can access the walkthroughs, teaching masterclasses and musicianship workshop videos.
All the lesson plans and resources are downloadable pdfs so you can print them or view them on any device, even when offline.
Each lesson that involves a page from one of the Doremi Piano books will have that page available as a downloadable pdf to use with your students. So you don’t need to buy anything extra.
However if you want a beautifully presented hard copy, or a studio-licensed download of an entire book, then pop to Doremi Piano Books for more information.
The Doremi Teach curriculums are exclusively inside the membership. That way we can support you to be the successful Kodály teacher you’ve always dreamed of.
Only the bonus introduction courses are available separately, but accessing them as a member is better value.
You get access to everything already inside the membership straight away! No waiting for content to be released to you, just jump in.
Simple! You get access to everything that our members get for 14 days.
I’ll be in touch throughout your 14 days to make sure you are making the most of your trial. And I’ll send you email warnings to remind you that your trial is coming to an end.
If you want to continue with your membership then you don’t need to do anything. After 14 days your first monthly payment will be taken and your membership will continue without a break.
If you don’t want to continue then just pop into your account before the end of the 14 day period and cancel your membership. If you cancel you’ll still keep your access for the full 14 days.
If you miss the deadline and get charged – don’t worry. I’m not trying to trick you. I still have my 30 day money back guarantee. So just email me within 30 days of starting your trial and I’ll sort out a refund for you.
We know you will LOVE being a Doremi member, however, if for whatever reason you’re not 100% satisfied in any way we have a 14 day money back guarantee (no questions asked). Before you do though, make sure you’ve thrown yourself into the opportunities, especially the live sessions and the community support because that’s where we add the magic.
After 14 days you can just cancel at anytime with two clicks of your mouse.
Obviously we’d love it if all of our members stuck around forever – but we know that that’s never going to happen! So, if you do decide to cancel obviously we’ll be very sad, but you’ll be able to do so with just a few clicks from within your account page.
Once cancelled you’ll retain access to the site for any remaining time paid for, after which you’ll lose access to all of the content, community and live sessions.
Get in touch here or hit reply on any of my emails and I’ll be glad to help.
