Global Connections' books for music educators include books about the origin and playing of many native-made musical instruments from many lands, musicians' biographies, and many children's stories appropriate for Orff instrumentation. We routinely stock paperback copies of each title if paperback is available. If both hardcover and paperback are available, the name of the title is followed by "PB" for the paberback, and by "HB" for the hardback (hardcover) volume.
Specific categories of books for music educators include:
 | Music-related children's books with folk songs, spirituals, anthems, and holiday songs from many countries, both in English and other languages |
| Books of nursery rhymes and poetry |
| Stories from around the world that are either about music, or have musical rhythms children will enjoy |
| Child-level biographies of great musicians |
| Reference Books about instruments and musical techniques around the world |
Many books could actually fit into more than one category, so don't give up if you don't find the book you want on the first page you look at. In particular, many of the books in nearly all categories have wonderful illustrations.

In addition to books, Global Connections has many authentic native-made Musical Instruments from many lands. Most of these instruments are simpler than our modern band and orchestra instruments, and often can demonstrate basic musical principles more easily than the more complicated instruments to which people in the U.S. are accustomed.
