Letter From The President

Hello and welcome to MiKE! 

I’m Zach VanderGraaff, and I am the President of MiKE. Michigan Kodály is a growing chapter in the Great Lakes State full of dedicated music educators. We work hard to provide frequent and meaningful professional development for our fellow educators in Michigan and beyond. 

In our workshops, we strive to use the concepts of teaching music education as developed by Zoltan Kodály. It is our hope that we can be of some assistance to you in providing you with helpful resources or just a lending ear in your journey as a music educator. 

Please consider joining our mailing list and following us on Facebook for resources, workshops and other events we may be hosting. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Keep on singing!

Zach VanderGraaff

Michigan Kodály Educators–President

About MiKE

The Michigan Kodaly Educators (MiKE) is a music education group re-formed in 2014. Formerly known as the Southeast Michigan Kodaly Educators (SEMKE) which shut down years prior, MiKE has been working to provide workshops and Kodaly Levels Training for Michigan music education professionals over the entirety of the state. 

MiKE is a chapter of the Midwest Region of the Organization of American Kodaly Educators (OAKE). 

While the emphasis of the group is on Kodaly-Inspired teaching, all the workshops and sessions apply to any music education philosophy, and the chapter works regularly with other Michigan music education groups and the Michigan Music Education Association. 

Chapter workshops are available to non-members and members alike, although members receive a discounted workshop fee. To join OAKE and MiKE at an affordable rate, click the button below.
