  • The GIA Historical Music Series
    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! We’re happy to send single copies of the resources in this catalog on an “on approval” basis with full return privileges for 30 days.
