  1. Music with Mrs. Byers –

    This is a fabulous product. I used it with second grade students this year to review/assess since I am new to the school and Kodaly method is new to them. It is comprehensive and easy to use – looking forward to purchasing and implementing with additional grade levels. Thank you for a great product!

    This is my first time using this type of resource with my students. I really like how it is in line with first grade standards. I also really like how you can change some things or add/take away pages to make it totally fit your curriculum and your students.

    Great resource. I used it with my Kinder-2nd graders. Could have used a bit more clarity on some of the exercises, but appreciate the activities. Thanks!
