- Title
CANONIC CONSTRUCTIONS IN EARLY 20TH CENTURY MUSIC APPRECIATION CLASSES.
- Authors
Hardesty, Jacob
- Abstract
The author examines an asserted contradiction in U.S. music education history regarding the influence of Western classical music and the incorporation of other musical genres in public school music appreciation classes in the early 20th century. The author explores the attitudes of music teachers toward music appreciation courses and the expansion of folk music within music appreciation curricula. The author argues that the history of music appreciation courses in U.S. public schools during the so-called Progressive era must integrate classical music and folk music in terms of teaching methodology. The author also discusses the influence of the Victor Talking Machine Company and National Education Association (NEA) vice president Francis Elliot Clark on music appreciation in U.S. schools.
