The composer and music teacher John Pyke Hullah (1812-84) enjoyed
considerable success with The Village Coquettes, his 1836 opera
with a libretto by Charles Dickens. He is best remembered, however,
for his 'singing school for schoolmasters' which he directed at
London's Exeter Hall in the 1840s and later at the specially built
St Martin's Hall. Although his use of the French fixed sol-fa
system was quickly superseded by Curwen's tonic sol-fa approach,
his efforts - with the support of Sir James Kay-Shuttleworth -
embedded music firmly in the school curriculum. An influence on the
rapid growth of British amateur choral societies, he was also
appointed the first government inspector of music in training
colleges in 1872. First published in 1886, this biography was
prepared from Hullah's notes by his second wife, Frances Rosser
Hullah (1839-c.1921), a professional sculptor and writer on music
for women's periodicals.
