The music teacher and composer John Pyke Hullah (1812-84) is best
remembered for his 'singing school for schoolmasters'. Through his
dedicated efforts music was embedded into the school curriculum,
and his inspiration influenced the rapid growth of amateur choral
societies in Britain. Professor of vocal music at King's College,
London, from 1844 to 1874, Hullah was elected to the committee of
management of the Royal Academy of Music in 1869 and in 1872 became
the first government inspector of music in teacher training
colleges. Published in 1862, this accessible history of music from
plainsong to the mid-nineteenth century, which Hullah divided into
four periods, was first given as a course of six lectures at the
Royal Institution in 1861. A further series of lectures, The Third
or Transition Period of Musical History, is also reissued in this
series in its 1876 second edition.

in 1876, of lectures given at the Royal Institution in 1865 on the
topic of Italian, French, German and English music from the
Renaissance to Handel. It expands on part of his overarching 1861
course of lectures, The History of Modern Music, which is also
reissued in this series.
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system was quickly superseded by Curwen's tonic sol-fa approach,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.
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.
