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 It is difficult teaching from outdated materials (hardcover books from 1990 that our administrators think are good).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.

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!

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.

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


I so appreciate your contribution to music education. Your arrangements are met with so much enthusiasm by my students. I have gotten so many great ideas from your Mailing List Archives, and the Recorder Karate site is the best! You have been so helpful and added so much to my teaching that I always check your site first and purchase from you whenever possible. Thank you again.

- Kansas


YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME and it seems like a great, friendly, and productive place to work and be a part of a winning team. Just as the saying in my music room states: "Team work makes the dream work." Keep doing what you are doing!

- North Carolina


You ARE THE magazine for music teachers.

- North Carolina


Love your publication and will continue to purchase to keep my subscription current. I “inherited” years 1-8 and have purchased ever since!

- Florida


I'm really happy with all the songs and recorder music available for the age I teach. It makes my teaching so easy. Thank you so much.

- Brazil


I love Music K-8 because the music fits both my budget and the needs of my students!

- New York


I truly enjoy your magazine. I don't always have time to read it right away, but I always find time to listen to the CDs. The previews are also something I enjoy listening to, because it helps me plan for whatever shows I may be in the process of planning. If there is a new song available, I'll add it in, and then I am anxiously awaiting the magazine’s arrival so I can begin teaching it right away! I also think that the songs are so inspiring and upbeat that it is almost impossible to fail! Just add a few props, dance steps, costumes, and appropriate text, and link a few songs together on a particular subject and, “Presto!” - instant show stopper!

- New York


Thank you for all of the wonderful resources you have provided. I can use your excellent compositions for all of my concerts!

I wouldn't change a thing. I love your music, I use it in all my concerts, and the kids love to perform it. The parents are always raving about my shows.

- New York


I just want to say thanks again for making such a wonderful product. I use the magazine throughout the year, not only in my weekly classroom lessons, but in building programs (musicals) throughout the year. You all make my job so much easier and enjoyable! Keep up the fantastic work!

- Arizona


You are great. Just keep up the great work. Twelve years ago, I came from High School/Middle School to Elementary and found Music K-8. I don't know what I would have done without all of the songs and suggestions from other teachers.

- Kansas


I just want to thank you for taking the guess work out of concert music searching. I can always depend on your magazine for great teaching tools. I'm really burned out and don't know what I'd do without you! Thanks so much.

- Iowa


Your music is wonderful. Your accompaniments are top-notch. We rely on your publication for a good portion of our performance music. Your songs are always well-received and enjoyed by our community. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

- Oklahoma


Love the videos on the Video Network.

- Florida


I've been a fan for years and am back teaching K-5, so one of the first things I made sure of was a subscription to Music K-8.

- Iowa


My students are addicted to earning recorder "belts" and enjoy the wonderful orchestrations to the ten pieces in Recorder Karate. I love that you often include Boomwhacker features.

- Iowa


I really appreciate Music K-8. It is such a relief knowing we have new music to choose from for every month and every teaching situation. Plus, the prices are so reasonable, I just don't know how you do it.

- Florida


Your magazine has been a tremendous help. Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work.

- Arizona


I absolutely love your magazine and your site. I've used many ideas from the Idea Bank and made great use of your music. I've had parents comment after our programs, "We just love coming to your concerts!" It's not because of me - only that I choose your music.

- Idaho


I am grateful for this magazine and to its talented musicians and writers! It has enhanced my ability to teach the values and concepts that I think young children should be singing about, while still allowing them to enjoy the melodies, beats, and rhythms that they enjoy listening to and singing. Keep up the good work! I am a lifetime fan!

- California


I think you have done a fabulous job of offering a wide variety of topic options.

- California


Thanks for your commitment to providing quality music to our students. The kids always enjoy your music.

- Minnesota


Keep up the good work! You guys are great. I have been a subscriber off and on for a number of years. Music K-8 is a reliable resource that has helped me many times. I can always find the "perfect" song there. Thank you for putting out such an excellent product.

- Georgia


I am always really excited when I see the big envelope in my school mailbox! More than half the music in my programs this year was music from Music K-8. It is on the top of my requisition list every year! Thanks!

- Missouri


I LOVE Music K-8 music. It has made my life so much easier, and the kids love the songs! You guys rock!

- Tennessee


You guys do amazing with the magazine. I love it!

- Wisconsin


The MusicK8.com Mailing List has been a godsend to me. Thank you for providing such a wonderful forum.

- Kansas


Keep up the great work! I always look forward to every issue!

- Kentucky


This resource is more valuable to me than any textbook. The songs are extremely well-written, creative, and clever, and the children love them. Having student voices as models on the recordings is a tremendous boon. Thank you for your creativity and this amazing series.

- New Jersey


This is probably my most useful resource I use each year. Thanks.

- New Jersey


Keep doing what you’re doing. I like how I can usually find a song for what I need. I love [the] searchable [Online Index], and that I can listen to the songs without digging out the CDs.

- Idaho


What terrific pieces! All so different, yet high quality. Thank you! I look forward to many more!

- Rhode Island


I love Music K-8 and look forward to each and every issue.

- Rhode Island


I don't know what I would do without Plank Road. They save my sanity every year.

- Maine


I just had to thank Plank Road Publishing once again for making such wonderful music for my students (and me!). [...] It's like you know what I need (and want) more than I do!

- Illinois


I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Plank Road Publishing is the best at what they do because they understand what the kids like, what their sense of humor is (and the teachers’, as well!), and write absolutely incredible melodies and lyrics specially suited to the unchanged voice.

- Michigan


I can count on one hand the resources and training that have meant the most to me in my 31 years of teaching - and you can be sure that Music K-8 is among them!

- Ohio
