John Curwen (1816 80), minister and music educationist, is
remembered for his promotion in Britain of the tonic sol-fa system
of teaching singing. He had an innate understanding of the social
value of music in education, and it was in response to being asked
in 1841 to recommend the best way of teaching music in Sunday
schools that he developed Norwich schoolteacher Sarah Glover's
system from her Scheme for Rendering Psalmody Congregational
(1835). He would spend the rest of his life refining it. Not to be
confused with John Hullah's 'fixed doh' system, Curwen's method
spread rapidly and by the 1860s over 180,000 people in Britain were
learning tonic sol-fa. First published in 1843 and reissued here in
its revised and expanded edition of 1848, this thorough textbook
sets out Curwen's method, complete with a wide range of exercises
for class practice.
