Most textbooks for AKI courses may be purchased from an on-line book
shop or music shop before classes begin for a head start on reading and
assignments. Some materials are available only through AKI, as listed, and
should be ordered via the AKI Order Form. An order form will be mailed to
enrolled students along with their registration confirmations.
Article reprints required for each course will be provided by AKI.
For Kodály certification students, the largest investment in books and
materials occurs at Level I. The same books are used again in Levels II and
III, with a few additions. All required books are essential items for the
Kodály teacher's library. In some cases, the same textbook is required for
more than one course on the same level.
