Alberta Kodály Association

We invite you into the joyful music making community that is the Kodály Society of Ontario.

Making music is an essential component of a child's life. One has only to reflect on past music classes, concerts, assemblies and impromptu singing sessions to be reminded of the delight, emotional satisfaction and the pure pleasure children derive from joyous music making. As teachers of music, it is our mission to provide our students with many opportunities for engagement in quality music experiences.

About AKA

Our Mission

The Alberta Kodály Association was started by Alberta music educators who follow the teachings of Hungarian composer and music educator; Zoltán Kodály ("koh - dye").

The AKA provides professional development support and training for music teachers.

Founded in 1983, the Alberta Kodaly Association has advocated quality music education through teacher training, professional development and the publication of our journal, the Ephatha. Both founders, Sr. Therese Potvin and Lois Choksy, remain lifetime members of the AKA.

The AKA thanks the Alberta Foundation For the Arts for their generous support.
