Books by John Hullah

The definitive edition of the state-approved textbook used in Hullah's singing classes and in schools throughout Britain and the colonies during the second half of the nineteenth century.

The composer and music teacher John Pyke Hullah (1812-84) is best remembered for his 'singing school for schoolmasters'. Published in 1862, this accessible history of music, from plainsong to the mid-nineteenth century, was first given as a course of six lectures at the Royal Institution in 1861.
