Each new issue of Music K-8 includes eight or more, never-before published works with full rights for you to photocopy them for use with your students. In fact, the magazine has averaged more than eight songs per issue, including one complete musical revue per year! Each full-length song is carefully arranged with a playable piano accompaniment and chord symbols (if appropriate). Created by respected composers and arrangers, these songs come in a variety of styles (Latin, rock, country, jazz, rap, ballad, and hip-hop, to name a few), with such options as teaching suggestions, student instrumental parts, and/or simple movement. Students love these quality selections, which are available nowhere else.
You'll get five music-packed issues per year, arriving bimonthly throughout the school year. If you use only one song per issue, you will have saved more than the price of a subscription... a real value in these days of shrinking budgets.
Student Reproducible Parts can save you even more money, as well as time, and are available in physical or downloadable format. Click to learn more.
The twenty-third year of Music K-8 (the 2012-2013 school year), is full of more great music, including a brand new musical revue, which will be completed by the third issue. As with our first twenty-two years, you will find that each song in the revue will stand on its own if you aren't performing the whole work. In addition, there are seasonal and other topical works in each issue to add more to your teaching repertoire.
Lyrics to virtually all songs recorded in the magazine will be on PowerPoints for you to use with projectors, and any form of interactive teaching boards. And they are FREE ... a bonus available to all registered subscribers to Vol. 23.
A special Performance/Accompaniment CD is available for each issue, at a very reasonable cost, with each containing the recorded music from a single issue. The recording gives you two fully orchestrated versions of every song: one in full performance with children's voices, and one with accompaniment only, to free your hands in rehearsals and give you more polished performances. Since the first CD is free, the cost is less than $1.50-2.00 per song, a real bargain when you compare it to the quality and price of other recordings on the market, which often cost as much as $15.95 per song! Download our free samplers and hear the quality we build into everything we do. If you prefer, you can subscribe to our Music K-8 Sampler Music Podcast.
Share ideas with teachers around the country in this unique forum. Every issue features several pages of great ideas from our subscribers, including bulletin board ideas (often with photos or illustrations), games to help teach musical concepts, songs, rounds, unit ideas, lesson plans, ideas for classroom management, rewards, discipline, performance concepts, listening aids, and anecdotes about the world of elementary music.
The regular Photo Journal feature includes idea-filled pictures from teachers all around the world. And since we pay for everything we publish, you may find that your good ideas and pictures will pay for your subscription.
As if this weren't enough, each issue also includes Reproducibles, Games, Special Features, and/or Seasonal Resources, all designed for immediate use in your classroom. And to top it off, there are regular features like Quodlibet, full of fun, philosophy and handy information. All of this for an unbelievably low price!

You'll Never Miss An Issue

Downloadable back issues will be available through your online account one business day after your order is processed."Music K-8 magazine has been a lifesaver and a huge resource to me. As a new teacher with my first year at an inner city, high poverty, high minority school with absolutely no music funding, I have come to rely on your magazine to provide me with program material, teaching resources, and great ideas. I constantly use the Idea Bank and message boards to try even more new things. I wouldn't have made it without all of the support and resources that Music K-8 offers."

I also appreciate the ease with which you can be contacted. The life of a music teacher using Music K-8 and other Plank Road publications is made so much easier... and in turn, the children’s love of music and music education is so much better and enjoyable! Keep up the fantastic work!"

"You all do an outstanding job of providing valuable materials to music teachers. I could not make it through a school year without your materials. I do not think a week goes by that I do not use a least one Music K-8 song in my lessons. I LOVE your company!"
- Arkansas
"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."
