The first serious study of music in independent schools, which
bears eloquent witness to a high standard achieved over the last
fifty years. This is the first serious study of music in
independent schools. The high standard of musical work in such
schools has long been known but now Andrew Morris and his team have
provided up-to-date information. There are contributions from seven
individual schools - Bedford, Dulwich, Eton, Gresham's, St. Paul's,
Uppingham and Worksop - as well as chapters about Girls' Schools,
Preparatory Schools, Choir Schools and Specialist Schools. Andrew
Morris was Director of Music at Bedford School for thirty-two years
and was President of the Music Masters and Mistresses Association
in 1996-97. He is thus ideally placed to mastermind a substantial
compendium which is eminently readable andabsorbing. The book
includes material from Bernarr Rainbow's study, Music in the
English Public School (1990) and brings it up to date. As a
historian, Rainbow looked back at how music developed in
independent schools. Progress was slow, even tortuous, but
Rainbow's fascinating documents, supported by his commentary, show
how idealism won through, and Morris and his colleagues bear
eloquent witness to the very positive development over the last
fifty years. ANDREW MORRIS taught in secondary modern, grammar and
comprehensive schools in London before becoming Director of Music
at Bedford School for thirty-two years. He was President of the
Music Masters' and Mistresses' Association from 1996-97 and
President of the RAM Club at the Royal Academy of Music 2005-06. He
has examined for the ABRSM for over thirty years. BERNARR RAINBOW
(1914-1998) is widely recognised as the leading authority on the
history of music education. His seminal books are all published by
Boydell and are listed on the back pages of this volume. His series
of Classic Texts in Music Education is a major resource and in 1997
he foundedthe Bernarr Rainbow Trust which supports projects in
music education. CONTRIBUTORS: Catherine Beddison, Elizabeth

This book 'Queen Summer Or The Tourney Of The Lily And The Rose'
was written and illustrated by Walter Crane and originally
published in 1891. In the form of an epic poem about the
allegorical figure Queen Summer its extensive colour illustrations
are enchantingly neoclassical in style. The book is similar to some
of Crane's masques which he wrote to be performed by the Arts and
Crafts Guild and some of which are also published by Pook Press.
Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these
classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using
the original text and artwork so these works can delight another
generation of children. About the Illustrator: Walter Crane
(1845-1915) was one of the earliest contributors to children's
literature and one of the most influential illustrators in the
development of children's colour picture books. Crane began working
for Edmund Evans in 1864 producing bright, colourful books which
revolutionised the type of children's books available. He created a
series of 'Toy Books' between 1865-1875 which contained fairy
stories, nursery rhymes and other tales of adventures. His Arts and
Crafts illustrations came to typify children's books for decades to
come.

This engagingly written, research- and practice-based book defines
how art teachers can build on students' creative initiatives
without depending on adult-imposed lesson plans and school
requirements. In doing so, art educator and author George Szekely
explores the role of the arts in developing children's creativity
and sense of purpose, and reminds readers that students in the art
classroom are unique artists, designers, and innovators. Against
the backdrop of a school culture that over-emphasizes compliance
and standardization, Szekely recognizes the importance of the role
of the art teacher in supporting the artistic independence and
creative flare that occurs naturally in students of all ages in the
classroom. Providing real-life examples of classrooms and schools
that work towards championing child artists, this text arms
teachers with the skills necessary to listen to their students and
support them in presenting their ideas in class. Ultimately,
Szekely challenges readers to focus the practice of art teaching on
the student's creative process, rather than the teacher's
presentation of art. Written for pre-service and in-service art
educators, teacher educators, and researchers, Teaching to Support
Children's Creativity and Artistic Independence demonstrates that
an openness to youthful and inquisitive visual expression inspires
a more rewarding learning experience for both teacher and child
artists that can support a life-long love of art.
