The first music textbook designed for use in English schools,
Turner's Manual is more than a historical curiosity. This, the
first music textbook specifically designed for use in English
schools, was published in 1833 under the auspices of the Society
for Promoting Christian Knowledge - an evangelical body much
concerned with "good works" andthe furtherance of sound educational
principles. The author was an experienced and influential London
teacher, a practising musician and an advocate of the teaching
methods of Pestalozzi, still then unfamiliar to most teachers
inthis country. Although the pioneer English teaching manual for
schools, Turner's Manualis not just a minor historical curiosity.
