GIA Publications, Inc. is a publishing company based in Chicago, focused on sacred music resources and music education materials, grounded in scholarly research and pedagogy. Its catalog serves liturgical needs across multiple Christian denominations and includes a growing line of education texts for teachers and students. The firm traces its roots to 1941 in Pittsburgh as the Gregorian Institute of America and relocated to Chicago in 1967, later adopting the GIA Publications, Inc. name. The company targets churches, choir directors, educators, and other music professionals seeking reliable liturgical music and pedagogical resources. It has grown through acquisitions such as Walton Music (2014) and WLP/Meredith Music publications (2020), and it co-owns ONE LICENSE to facilitate music licensing for congregations. A notable recent development is a partnership announced in 2026 with MakeMusic to integrate the Habits of a Successful Musician Series into MakeMusic's cloud-based offering.
