    GIA Publications, Inc. 2018 2018 Music Education Catalog At GIA, we aspire to create innovative resources that communicate the joys of music making and music learning—that delve deeper into what it means to be musical. By working with leading authors who represent the very best the profession has to offer for all levels from preschool through college and beyond, GIA seeks to help music teachers communicate the joy, art, skill, complexity, and knowledge of musicianship. This year we again offer a wide range of new resources for early childhood through college. Scott Edgar explores Music Education and Social Emotional Learning (page 7); the legendary Teaching Music through Performance in Band series moves to Volume 11 (page 8); Scott Rush publishes Habits of a Significant Band Director (page 9) and together with Christopher Selby releases Habits of a Successful Middle Level Musician (pages 10-11). And there’s finally a Habits book for choir directors (page 12). James Jordan gives us four substantial new publications (pages 13-16). There’s also an Ultimate Guide to Creating a Quality Music Assessment Program (page 19). For general music teachers, there is a beautiful collection of folk songs from Bali (page 21), a best- selling book on combining John Feierabend’s First Steps in Music methodology with Orff Schulwerk (page 23), plus the new folk song picture book, Kitty Alone (page 24), just to start. All told, this catalog has 400 pages of resources to explore and enjoy!

James Jordan Professor and Senior Conductor Westminster Choir College Princeton, New Jersey Contact email: [email protected] Twitter: @Jevoke Sponsored by GIA Publications, Inc. Chicago, Illinois Innovative Strategies for Choral Warm-Up and Rehearsal Musical First Aid or Long-Term Ensemble Skill Development? “If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten.” —Andrew Carnegie from the Foreword, The Conductor’s Gesture, Eugene Migliaro Corporon 1. The Major Pedagogical Question . Premise: We need to move away from choral rehearsal first aid in our rehearsals and move toward long-term music learning and music skill teaching. “We give meaning to music by audiating the context of the music.” (p. 5) —Edwin Gordon in Preparatory Audiation, Audiation, and Music Learning Theory “Visualize Gordon’s work as concentrating on building a strong foundation of basic skills: tonal patterns and rhythm patterns—aurally and in notation…and upon these basic skills, the monuments of music—literature, structure and style, aesthetic listening, performance, composition, and conducting are built. Many music educators focus on the monuments of music achievement and lose sight of the importance of a solid foundation. Gordon’s premise was if we build a strong foundation, the monuments will be easier to erect and will be stronger in the long run.” —Richard Colwell in Development of MAP and ITML: Is Music Learning Theory an Unexpected Outcome? ISAME 2015 “We do not take meaning from music. Music hears us; we do not hear music.
