There is a need for historical studies in music education that
focuses on the common person. Historians in general have been doing
this for years, but music education history has yet to catch up to
the field. Although there have been many biographies and
biographical studies about the more well-known music educators,
little has been done investigating what teaching was like for the
average teacher, and even less is known about teaching music in the
early years of music education in the United States. A Musician and
Teacher in Nineteenth Century New England: Irving Emerson,
1843-1903 argues that understanding history requires knowledge of
the people who lived during the time. This book focuses on what
Irving Emerson's life was like as a musician and music teacher
during this early and critical period of music education. During
this time in history, the growth of music as a curricular study in
the United States, from singing schools to classroom singing and
note-reading, paralleled Emerson's teaching career. It was because
of the groundwork established by music teachers like Irving Emerson
that the music curriculum developed in the twentieth century to
include music appreciation, instrumental music ensembles and
marching band, along with general music classes and choral music
education. This is an invaluable resource to music educators,
musicians, and historians alike in understanding the beginnings and
formation of what is today music appreciation in the education
system.
