First, We Start with the Teaching Guide

Are you a music teacher new to the Kodály approach? Perhaps you're an experienced teacher looking for new ways to supplement your materials? Whether you're seeking guidance to the Kodály style or an alternative perspective, First We Sing! Kodály-Inspired Teaching for the Music Classroom is an excellent place to start. Within this teaching guide, you will find an overview of the Kodály approach, a brief introduction to the philosophy, teaching tools, and learning materials. Brought to you by arranger Susan Brumfield, the First We Sing! collection is full of fresh ideas and engaging lessons for music class.

Totally Kodály

Ideal for grades K-5, teachers will find an abundance of resources in this guide: Curriculum mapping; daily lesson plans and yearly plans; suggestions for quality repertoire; and lists of songs recommended for each grade level, indexed by element and motive. It includes a detailed explanation of the “three-step process” of musical literacy (Prepare, Present, Practice), and a comprehensive look at how musical skills develop over time.

Revised Edition

The First, We Sing! books express a commitment to discovering and sharing accurate information about song material. It's important to adjust and rework curriculum for students based on their needs and changing times. This series considers more culturally sensitive and relevant options in comparison to the “standard” eds of our students change. Ongoing research also provides an opportunity to examine and reconsider widely used “standard” music class repertoire. For these reasons, several books in the collection have undergone significant revisions. The Teaching Guide includes an updated and expanded index of suggested songs, rhymes, games, active listening practices, and reading exercises for each element. Purchasers of the original materials can download the updated pages here.
