Calling all Kodaly teachers!

I just wanted to put in a plug for Philip Tacka's new series based on the Kodaly Today text. They are "Kodaly in the ______ classroom" and right now only K is available, but he's coming out with K-5.

I've had the K book for a week and it is amazing.

It's an entire K Kodaly program, updated to address 21st century skills. The book is huge and includes songs, games, rhymes, complete lesson plans, a yearly plan, and tons of books to connect to the songs you sing. He also includes a chapter full of rubrics for assessment.

I think I'm going to sit down with this over the summer and revamp my whole K program. (I've been using Gameplan, but have been trying to move to Kodaly. Miss Friday has been really helpful getting the ball rolling for me for K, but this book is really going to help me with assessment and with literature connections.)

Well worth the price.

bec I just looked these up on Barnes and Noble. They are making grades 1-5 available on August 11th - a little late if I wanted to try to use it this year. The paperback versions of the books are $34 (or close) but I don't know if that price is only good if you pre-order them. I own, and like, their textbook, but this would be so much easier to follow....See More

3rd year So the K book includes a yearly plan...which is really helpful. It also includes a whole chapter of lesson plans (almost 100 pages). Here's a sample:
