Ann C. Kay founded the Center for Lifelong Music Making in 2005 to initiate projects to get all people singing and making music.  She created a free mentoring program that pairs retired, expert teachers with new teachers.  She launched the Great American Singing Challenge™ to help all children learn to sing in tune and sing with their familes and communities.

 

Ann teaches courses and workshops with her colleague Dr. Elizabeth Olson based on Olson’s Affirming Parallel Concepts™ model.  A former elementary and jr. high music teacher, Ann was also associate director of graduate music education at the University of St. Thomas where she founded and directed the Kodály approach certification program for music teachers (18 years), advised MA papers, and created a unique mentoring program.  She founded the Kodály Chapter of Minnesota and served as president of the national Organization of American Kodály Educators.
