House. Smith’s biography notes her musical study in Germany and an account of the publication of her music books for children, including The Eleanor Smith Music Course published in 1908 by the American Book Company. Schultz examines the “cultural pedagogy” of Hull House in chapter 5. As educators and cultural leaders, the women of Hull House used the arts programs to save children from the adjacent community, especially immigrant children, from what they considered to be a destructive, commercial culture. This pedagogical perspective later extended farther into the community as programs for adults grew out of the arts and crafts movement in Chicago. Out of this came a newly created Labor Museum at Hull House with adults in the community teaching “textiles, metals, woods, grains, and printing and binding” (p. 196) and, later, pottery. Chapter 6 draws a parallel between Progressive Era political and social issues to current political culture. Schultz further examines the larger Progressive Era movement and the consequent changes to the settlement house’s objectives after Jane Addams’s death in 1935, especially the influence of new political and social programs, “The New Deal” of the time. The final chapter is a critique of Jane Addams’s exclusion of blacks in Hull House programs, claiming that there was a small population of blacks in the neighborhood, even though they were conspicuously absent from the musical and artistic programs of the organization. Schultz states that “in the absence of art, music, craft display, or drama that provided positive images of African Americans, immigrants learned to identify with whites rather than with people of color” (p. 280). While portions of the book can be difficult to absorb, both in prose and content, the authors provide a comprehensive documentation of the arts programs at Hull House. The book also contains an Afterword with “A Singer’s Perspective” on Hull House Songs by soprano Jocelyn Zelasko and Harriet Monroe’s libretto for The Troll’s Holiday, the operetta for children composed by Eleanor Smith. Readers who want to explore the life and work of Eleanor Smith and her role in the music education of children will encounter well-sourced information on this overlooked composer and educator. The book goes beyond the composer and her songs, however. The authors delve into Jane Addams’s philosophical, and by extension, political beliefs. The Hull House organization itself emerges as the larger focus through detailed narrative and critique. Eleanor Smith’s “Hull House Songs” is an insightful look into how the advocates of historical Progressivism mixed high, aspirational art with working-class, democratic principles.

The purpose of this study was to trace the development and growth of the University of Illinois Band Clinics during their twenty-five-year history (1930–1954). Founded by A. Austin Harding, Director of Bands at the University of Illinois, the Band Clinics served as an important forum for the reading and performance of contest pieces and new band music during an important period in the development of the school band movement. The clinics also served as the National Band Clinics, sponsored by the National School Band Association, from 1932 until 1937. Throughout its history, the clinics expanded in scope and size to provide directors of all levels and notoriety the opportunity to gather on an annual basis to discuss current trends and teaching techniques that were important to the growth of the school band movement. Due to their success and popularity, the clinics served as an important event for the development of other band-specific conferences throughout the United States.

Music teachers are central to the effective implementation of the school curriculum; however, researchers know little about their careers in music education. In order to understand the work of music teachers, researchers must document experiences of those educators who may appear ordinary but who led extraordinary lives and careers. The purpose of this study was to create a biographical primary source on E. Daniel Long, one of the esteemed educators in American string music education during the second half of the twentieth century. Long’s memories of his life and teaching position with Ann Arbor Public Schools, alongside additional sources, were used to explore aspects of his career in music education. This article includes additional biographical information not previously documented in past interviews as well as his philosophical beliefs about teaching youth.
音乐教师是学校课程有效实施的核心;然而，研究人员对他们在音乐教育中的职业知之甚少。为了理解音乐教师的工作，研究人员必须记录下那些看似平凡但却有着非凡生活和事业的教育工作者的经历。本研究的目的是为二十世纪下半叶美国弦乐教育中受人尊敬的教育家之一e·丹尼尔·朗(E. Daniel Long)创建一个传记式的原始资料。Long的生活记忆和他在安娜堡公立学校的教学职位，以及其他资料，被用来探索他在音乐教育方面的职业生涯。这篇文章包括在过去的采访中没有记录的额外的传记信息，以及他关于教育青年的哲学信仰。

Studio music teachers are the backbone of musical communities but their efforts are often overlooked and unsung. We explore one facet of the life of studio music teachers in Australia 1890–1920, graded music examinations conducted by two well-reputed British music education organizations: Trinity College of Music and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. For teachers, acquiring high-level qualifications from these bodies offered teaching credentials. For students, examinations were a feature of their routine studies. Teachers could advertise their abilities via the publication of examination results. We chronicle the introduction of these examinations to Australia and their impact on the lives of studio music teachers.

Commodore Perry and his “Black Ships” opened Japanese harbors for foreign shipping in 1853 and 1854. Music was important for this Japan Expedition that obtained a treaty between the United States and Japan. Bands and singers performed music for parades, impressive ceremonies, religious services, and entertainment for the sailors and foreign audiences. This article examines the styles of Western music, instrumentation, and performance venues of Perry’s musicians as they traveled to harbors in China, Okinawa, and Japan. Since the large bands from Perry’s ships were impressive with their fancy uniforms, swords, and loud music, the Japanese associated band music with American military power. The performances on Perry’s ships were some of the first performances of Western music in Japan, before the Westernization of the Japanese school music curriculum in the 1880s. Primary sources for this research include contemporary narrative accounts, printed programs, nineteenth-century prints, and songbooks. Secondary sources include websites, articles, and books to put the material in a historical context.

Many of the first public school music teachers in the United States came from the singing school tradition and taught from the same tune books that had been used in singing schools. After the war, renewed interest in education and the establishment of graded schools soon led to the introduction of music series that were designed to serve the individual needs of each grade and the classroom teachers who often assisted with music instruction. The major music education history texts in the United States claim that music series soon replaced single-volume songbooks since they better served the needs of the new graded school system. Music series represented the new progressive views of education in the years following the Civil War, and the single-volume songbooks that descended from antebellum tune books of the singing school movement are largely dismissed as relics of a bygone era. This study explores the use of these school songbooks in the years following the Civil War, extending many years beyond the introduction of the first music series.
