Core Components
The Books
Part I presents essays by the leading lights of instrumental music education, written specifically for the Teaching Music
series to instruct, inform, enlighten, inspire, and encourage music directors in their daily tasks.
Part II presents Teacher Resource Guides that provide practical, detailed reference to the best-known and foundational
band compositions, Grades 2–6,* and their composers. In addition to historical background and analysis, music directors
will find insight and practical guidance for streamlining and energizing rehearsals.
The Recordings
North Texas Wind Symphony
Internationally acknowledged as one of the premier ensembles of its kind, the North Texas Wind Symphony is selected
from the most outstanding musicians attending the North Texas College of Music. The ensemble pursues the highest pro-
fessional standards and is determined to bring its audiences exemplary repertoire from all musical periods, cultures, and
styles.
*For information about the grading nomenclature used in Beginning Band, volumes 1 and 2, see page 30 of this list.
Through the Years with the Teaching Music Series
Over twenty years ago, a team of nationally recognized band directors and teachers came together to produce a long-
needed resource that would provide theoretical, analytical, and practical information for band directors desiring to help
students move beyond the printed page toward musical awareness and understanding.
That team, under the able leadership of Richard Miles, Director of Bands at Morehead State University, created an
invaluable asset and inaugurated a pioneering series of guides to the significant band literature of the day: Teaching Music
through Performance in Band, Volume 1, accompanied by recordings of selected pieces featured in the book.
Beginning with the first volume in 1997, the Teaching Music series has grown to 11 volumes for band (including the
new revised second edition of volume 1), two for beginning band, two for jazz ensembles, and one each for marches,
middle school band, and beginning jazz ensembles.
Today Teaching Music through Performance, including resources for choir and orchestra, is a series of resource guides
very much alive and growing that encompasses an incredible 16,000-plus pages covering almost 1,800 pieces of significant
music literature supported by more than 80 compact discs. In addition to these printed and recorded materials, music
directors have at their fingertips a website dedicated to helping them get the most from the series, with a searchable
database of all selections and over 1,000 MP3 audio clips.
To all who have enjoyed and benefited from these materials, GIA both thanks you and encourages you to look forward
to the new resources to come.
