Engaging & empowering experiences for students
The middle secondary/high school age group of classroom music has so many things to tick off! It’s either compulsory or elective-based and operates as a ‘taste’ of music and/or a pathway to senior music.
Resources at this level need to be engaging certainly, but also empowering through concept knowledge so that students can experience music in a variety of different ways - practically, theoretically, creatively & collaboratively.
This approach suits any class format and ability level.
The great thing about the DSMusic Kodály-inspired resources is that they’re adaptable.
This means no matter how your students enter this middle years point, interactive content makes it easy for you to teach & even easier for them to learn.

The difficulty with our musical language is that it requires the eye and ear to work together – to hear what we see and to see what we hear.
DSMusic has a way of making the mundane fun and the intricate easy as you sing and listen and learn the balance between the ear and the eye.
