This is my first year teaching music. (I had been a 2nd grade teacher for 20 years prior.) I absolutely LOVE your magazine. You have been a lifesaver and have made music so fun for my kids and myself!

- Florida


My kids love the songs, and it's been a pleasure to teach Music K-8 songs all these years.

- Rio de Janerio


So pleased to have Music K-8 as a first-year teacher! I remember it from when I was in grade school in the ‘90s. Y'all are doing a great job; thanks so much!

- Alabama


Thank you so much for all the work you do. This is my 27th year teaching, and I have used Music K-8 since I heard about it many years ago.

- Georgia


You are so generous in your use of your materials - thank you. Your songs are our chorus songs; I have no money to purchase anything else.

- Georgia


Thank you for creating a resource that I know I can ALWAYS utilize yearly in my curriculum! It's so wonderful to know that when I'm looking for a particular song to accompany a themed unit or lesson, I can find it in my Music K-8 library!

- Arkansas


The job that you do with your magazine makes my job as a music teacher much easier! Your magazine is a most valuable resource for me, and I am grateful every time I get another issue!

- South Carolina


Love the variety of songs. Just keep them coming! Thanks for giving us great songs for our concerts!

- Texas


Thank you Music K-8. I appreciate your excellent product. Great job over there. My students love your repertoire; it has made teaching my children's choir so enjoyable.

- California


I'm continually impressed by the quality of work we get from Music K-8 and the response it gets from kids and parents. PS: All of my chorus program was from Music K-8!

- Florida


I have always struggled with teaching guitar to the whole class until I started using Music K-8 songs! Today, I had the class doing "Blueberry Waltz" in two parts, and it sounded great! I love that they can learn a simple chord and play a song right away! ("Learning My Guitar" and "Gonna Play Guitar" are great!) Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Plank Road for such great pieces that have my kids feeling like they can make music on such a difficult instrument!

- Illinois


Seriously. HOW do you all keep DOING this? [...] We are blessed to have you in our musical, educational lives!! Thank you, Paul and Teresa and Plank Road Publishing!!

- Nebraska


I love all of your music. Teresa Jennings is the best.

- Illinois


I have depended on Music K-8 and the Jennings’ music for years, producing more successful programs than I can count. [...] I can never thank you enough for the beautiful ways you have touched me, the children, and parents. The tears, joy, and laughter that flow from your priceless work is unimaginable.

- Texas


This is my second year using Music K-8, and it STILL continues to be my one-stop lifesaver for all my general music and concert needs. I am ALWAYS impressed by the quality of your products. Thank you!

- Pennsylvania


I am a subscriber and a true believer in Music K-8. I love you guys!

- California


I love Plank Road! It's the one resource I can't do without. I have been using the magazine for the past fifteen years. It's priceless.

- Massachusettes


I have always loved the magazine, but the videos have taken it to another level.

- Texas


Thank you for keeping your magazine affordable, fun, and relevant.

- Texas


Music K-8, it's like you KNEW exactly what I needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

- Colorado


So here I am, wondering what to do with NO budget. I bought Music K-8 with my own $$ (which I've been doing for years). With issue 2 alone, I have practically everything I need: After-school choir will LOVE "The Holly and the Ivy," "Hear Those Bells," and "We Will Jingle" (LOL)! I needed something for all the kids to sing for Grandparents' Day (the day before Thanksgiving Break, and a VERY big deal at our school): Whoo-HOO! -- "Come Ye Thankful People Come" and "I Count My Blessings." We're supposed to do an international emphasis this year, especially including other languages ... Wheee!: "Celebramos" and even the Hawaiian one will work nicely.

- Colorado


Your music enhances our studies in so many ways.

- Georgia


Many thanks to Music K-8 and all the great things you have provided for the past 22 years. I love this magazine.

- Pennsylvania


I wanted to comment on how I enjoy the choreography instruction videos that you have available now. So many of the songs in the magazine beg for movement; and for those of us not gifted in creating choreography, this is wonderful! This feature alone guarantees that I will continue my subscription.

- Kansas


I used Music K-8 when I taught elementary music in the early 1990's. When I returned to elementary music two years ago, I had to get back to this wonderful resource. My students LOVE the music, and my choirs are always the hit at any concert!

- Ohio


LOVE YOU ALL AND YOUR FABULOUS MUSIC! I have referred many friends to your site and I always will!

- Michigan


For the 17 years I have been teaching, your resource has remained a favorite. [...] From my experience, yours is the best resource! Thanks for keeping it simple, diverse, and kid and teacher friendly all these years. You all are truly a blessing, and I have been blessed to share your music with hundreds of kids!

- North Carolina


Thank you so much for all the thoughtful effort you have put into your magazine. It is one of my first resources for a song to fit a specific occasion.

- North Carolina


I have been a loyal subscriber since 1990, and my whole teaching career has had a generous sprinkling of musical gems from Music K-8. The magazine has been a godsend and has made my life easier. Kudos to Paul and Teresa and all of the wonderful staff.

- Georgia


I am a music teacher and have been receiving Music K-8 magazine here at school for the past 15+ years. I LOVE the songs and the quality of the products! Teresa and the other composers are so totally tuned into what kids like! My students love singing their songs! Thanks so very much for all you do for all of us music educators. We are blessed to have Music K-8 and Plank Road Publishing to depend on for resources. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

- Arizona


I honestly do not know how I would have gotten through my first year teaching without this web site! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

- Pennsylvania


[...]Plank Road is very generous in their time and help! I don't even think they realize the huge impact they have on our music education system across the nation.

- Oregon


I've been a [Mailing List] member since 1999. This list and my Music K-8 magazines are [my] most valuable resources.

- Minnesota


Wow! I am already a major fan of Plank Road’s Music K-8 and have been a subscriber for more than 10 years. I am continually amazed with the level of creativity and incredibly current music included in every issue. After all these years, Music K-8 keeps bringing it.

- Colorado


LOVE Teresa Jennings’ music! My kids LOVE her songs, and that's half the battle!

- Florida


I love the songs and the music, and my kids love it as well. It's easy to get them involved with this music. It's the only program I use at this time!

- Missouri


You Plank Road folks are one of the most wonderful things that have ever happened to elementary music instruction!

- Florida


Thanks for always having the highest quality musicians and sound mixing.

- Washington


I am in a low income school district (over 50% of our students are on free or reduced lunch). Your resources, along with the state-issued music curriculum that is five years old, is all I use. Your music is current and fun, and the students love it! You have provided a great resource for me in a district with little money for the arts. Thanks!

- New York


If I were moving to some impoverished district anywhere in the U.S. (and maybe in the world) and had NO money to spend, I would subscribe to your magazine as my text. I would use it to teach the written part of music - you do an excellent job writing songs that children can actually read rhythmically - like notes, clefs, repeat signs, etc. The FABULOUS, stylistically correct accompaniments are another reason why I would chose your magazine. Also, you do an excellent job of addressing subjects all across the curriculum - holidays, historical events, etc.- with wit, humor and songs pitched appropriately for kids.

- Illinois


I love Music K-8! I am so happy I found you. Without this resource I probably would not be a music teacher. It is difficult teaching from outdated materials (hardcover books from 1990 that our administrators think are good). Music K-8 is affordable and user-friendly.

- Michigan


I love this magazine... and the Music K-8 Mailing List. I know that I can search and get all sorts of ideas of ways to use the materials, and get other perspectives on classroom management, techniques, etc. The quality of the CDs and the way the songs entice the students make teaching music one of the best parts of my day. Plank Road, you make me look good!

- Montana


I used most of the songs from this issue for our school program, and on the day of the program, I slipped and gave myself a concussion. The show went on without me, thanks to the CDs and memorable lyrics (and a paraprofessional who reads music). I'm not sure if even the kids realized that I wasn't there.

- Montana


Isn’t it great to have a place to go to talk to colleagues, ask questions, discuss teaching techniques, and share personal stories? I would never want to teach without my Music K-8 magazines and this fantastic e-mail list.

- Nebraska


This series has been a godsend to me at my school. Especially the program songs and the recorder pieces. Thanks for everything.

- Connecticut


I love this magazine. I have used it since I began teaching, and I am about to retire, so that alone says a lot. I look forward to getting it. It would be nice if it came out every week and had all our lessons planned for us and all the music we need to teach right there in our hands. It is the closest thing I have come to that. Thanks for doing such a great job.

- Nebraska


Next year, I will discontinue [competitor’s magazine] but continue with Music K-8 because my students love the music. I appreciate the affordabililty and generous copyright of Music K-8 magazines. I also love that I can order "singles" from back issues and download them to my computer. If my budget gets cut down to zero, I am confident that I could and would purchase the subscription myself. Lastly, I just really appreciate the "family atmosphere" that your company has. I always think that if we ever move North that I would love to work with Plank Road. Thank you for all of your hard work for music education!

- Missouri


I really love Music K-8 and CONSTANTLY use your resources in my classroom. Keep up the good work. You guys are greatly appreciated!

- Arkansas


I don't think I would still be teaching if I didn't have Music K-8 as a resource. I know I can find a song for ANY theme, activity, lesson, or situation that I want to use in my classroom, and I thank you all for that. You make our jobs much less difficult!

- Wisconsin


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Digest Mailing List!

- Texas
