Towards the abolition of ‘payment by results’: the end of school music or an opportunity for further development as reported in School Music Review 1892–1901?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 July 2001

Abstract

This article examines the impact of the Music Code on the teaching of music in elementary schools during the last ten years of its operation. Secondly, it draws attention to the friction between the teaching profession and the wider musical world as a result of an almost exclusive use of tonic sol-fa to meet the requirements of the Code. Finally, the contribution of William Gray McNaught to music education in his role as editor of the School Music Review is evaluated.
