"The Kodaly Teacher Institute at MSU is a wonderful opportunity led by fantastic and skilled faculty. I'm so glad that I decided to start my training directly out of college and I feel more confident about my teaching potential even after Level 1. Gaining more materials for use in the classroom, learning how to analyze material before bringing it in front of my students, and challenging myself musically are just a few of the exciting reasons I'm glad I pursued training in Kodaly. I'm also very happy to have met new educators, mentors, and friends in the process. I think that anyone in the music education field should pursue training in Kodaly."
