The <strong>Music</strong>! Words! Opera! series, co-published by OPERA America and <strong>GIA</strong><br />
<strong>Publications</strong>, Inc., challenges students to experience communication and storytelling<br />
through methods beyond the spoken and written word. Opera is a multi-art form that<br />
invites students to explore several fundamental means of human communication—<br />
through language, music, dance, drama, and visual arts. Opera is an art form to be<br />
understood and enjoyed by everyone!<br />
Future components in this series will include other masterpieces of opera, as well<br />
as the Create Your Own <strong>Music</strong>! Words! Opera! module to guide teachers and students<br />
through the process of composing and producing an original work of opera or musictheater.<br />
By encouraging the basic human instinct for telling stories, students will be<br />
introduced to a whole new world of creative expression through opera.<br />
Developed by educators and opera professionals, <strong>Music</strong>! Words! Opera! is<br />
designed for upper elementary and middle school music classes.<br />
