Accounts of a series of separate visits to schools in many parts of
Europe and the USA at a time when the "myth" of continental musical
supremacy was being seriously challenged in Britain. Accounts of a
series of separate visits to schools in many parts of Europe and
the USA at a time when the "myth" of continental musical supremacy
was being seriously challenged in Britain. Although published under
one cover here,these accounts were written separately. Hullah's was
drawn up in the form of an official report to the Board of
Education when serving as government inspector of music in 1879.
Apart from its interest as a firsthand account of conditions, the
document had wider significance. The outspoken criticism it
contained of the state of music teaching in German schools became
the catalyst that enabled Hermann Kretzschmar to lead his
successful crusade for reform in1903. J.S.Curwen's accounts, on the
other hand, were written later as well as being those of a private
individual. They were originally intended for publication in the
journal of the Tonic Sol-fa movement founded by his father.
