Alberta Kodály Association
We invite you into the joyful music making community that is the Alberta Kodály Association.
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.
