Setting a strong music literacy foundation
The upper primary/elementary and lower secondary/high school age group is often the entry-point for classroom music.
Resources at this level need to be foundational, ensuring a logical and clear step-by-step sequence so students build basic music literacy and performance analysis skills that prepares them for what comes next.
You don’t need to be Kodály trained to use this material
DSMusic upper primary/lower secondary resources are designed to support educators to teach music literacy in this Kodály-inspired way so students learn, reinforce and consolidate concepts.
There are interactive PDFs, teaching videos, song audio and clear instructions for delivering this in your spaces.

We have been using Deb’s textbooks in our band and classroom music programs for some time now. They are the perfect companion for our music literacy/Kodály based program, with meaningful and interesting activities that complement each new skill taught.

Deb’s material offers logically sequenced lessons that engage students with music literacy in a deep and meaningful way. Relevant songs, exercises, listening activities, worksheets and games are at the core of each lesson - an abundance of tailorable possibilities for each class.

The books were easily adaptable for the different curricula in NSW.
These books provide a strong measure of continuity in students’ acquisition of both theoretical and aural skills through carefully graded activities.
