MFE - Supplementary Tab Featuring the Kodály Supplementary Songs

Let's explore the Supplementary Tab of MusicFirst Elementary (MFE) Powered by Charanga!

This video will highlight the "Kodály Supplementary Songs," which feature a variety of Kodály Folk Songs that can be customized to match the proficiency of your students. You have the option to teach these songs using stick notation, staff notation, solfege syllables, and hand signs. These songs are part of the Musitrax 1 and 2 singing programs developed by Lambeth Music Service in London, following the Kodály music education method. A few years back, Charanga partnered with Lambeth Music Service to make these successful singing programs more accessible to a wider audience through technology-enhanced song presentations. Let's delve into this valuable resource and explore three ways to incorporate it into your classroom!
