In Sarah Anna Glover: Nineteenth Century Music Education Pioneer, Jane Southcott explores the life and pedagogy of Sarah Anna Glover, the female music education pioneer of congregational singing (psalmody) and singing in nineteenth-century schools. Glover devoted her life to the creation and propagation of a way of teaching class music that was meticulously devised, musically rigorous, and successfully promulgated. Southcott analyzes Glover's methods, history, and memory, and works to correct inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have emerged since Glover's death.

Recenzii

Southcott's work. . . provides an important missing piece to the history of music education. As there is a link from Curwen to Zoltan Kodaly, it is essential to know that Sarah Anna Glover formed part of that link as well.
Jane Southcott's biography of Sarah Glover offers a scholarly and authoritative account of the life and work of this pioneer music educator. Throughout the engaging and accessible narrative, Southcott provides information that extends and corrects the work of previous scholars, while also capturing the character and spirit of Glover herself. Of particular interest are the clear and detailed descriptions of Glover's pedagogical processes and the often misunderstood relationship between her work and that of John Curwen. This book contributes a great deal to the historical record of music education and provides a model of research that other authors in our field should strive to emulate.
An important contribution to understanding Sarah Glover, the pioneering nineteenth century British music educator, Sarah Anna Glover: Nineteenth Century Music Education Pioneer chronicles Glover's unfailing commitment to the nurturing of children's musical selves. The compelling book acknowledges Glover's commitment to "sound before symbol" and her innovative efforts to shape the Tonic Sol-fa system as a paramount pedagogical strategy. Jane Southcott succeeds in correcting the inaccuracies of earlier chronicles of Glover and challenging the old lore that surrounds Glover's life and times; she leaves no stone unturned in telling truth of a gifted teacher with an independent spirit and a dedication worthy of imitation today.
