Am I Musical?
Discover Your Music Potential
(Adults and Children Ages 7 and Up)
Music Audiation Games
Edwin E. Gordon
If you’ve ever wondered about the music potential of
your child or yourself, the music audiation games are
for you! No formal education is necessary. These
games are fun to play and, at the same time, objectively
reveal a general estimate of musical potential of
children and adults.
Using the game sheets and a pencil, the participant
listens to the included CD and answers questions about the music. Use the games as a
fun learning activity and to discover your musical strengths and weaknesses. Or give this
game to a friend who insists (probably wrongly) that they have no musical talent!
Written by the world’s foremost expert in the study of music aptitude and beautifully
illustrated, this book makes a great gift for a friend or yourself.

Confessions of a
First-Year Maestro
Catherine Bell Robertson
From fund-raisers to irate parents, from meeting other
teachers to measuring for new marching band uniforms,
your teaching methods class never covered this territory!
In Confessions of a First-Year Maestro, author Catherine
Bell Robertson takes readers along as she rides the roller
coaster of first-year teaching! Centered on journal entries
written during her first year as director of all bands, choirs,
and ensembles at a parochial high school, this book captures
the surprises, joys, and woes of her hectic year. As a “survivor” and now veteran teacher,
she also looks back on this challenging time and offers insightful reflections.
Robertson’s journal and commentary are filled with lessons that every future
teacher should read, especially those who will teach music. While offering inspiration
and a few warnings for education students, the humorous and often touching stories in
this book also offer encouragement and understanding for teachers in their own first year,
as well as a trip down memory lane for many veterans.
A delightful and sincere look into the world of a first-year teacher as she begins her
“real” education!
Catherine Robertson teaches at Arrowhead High School in Hartland, Wisconsin.
She graduated with highest honors from the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse with a
bachelor of science in music education and has been teaching since 1998.
