Historical Development Of Public School String Education In The United States And Connections With Turkey

Abstract

The origins of string instruction in the United States (particularly at public schools) date back to the 1800s. A flourishing interest in string pedagogy during the second half of the nineteenth century motivated American music educators to adopt and develop methods originating in Europe. Lewis Benjamin, Charles H. Farnsworth, and Albert Mitchell were among the first educators who systematically introduced string instruction methods to American students. Later, pedagogues such as Joseph Maddy and Paul Rolland made significant contributions to the improvement of string education nationwide. Organizations such as the Music Educators National Conference (MENC), the National School Orchestra Association (NSOA) and the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) were instrumental in coordinating the implementation of string methodologies. This first section of this study provides a historical overview of the development of American string education from the late 1800s to the current time. Discussions of important figures in the string teaching area are presented, and the current status of public school string education in the United States is examined. The second section provides a historical overview of the development of string education in Turkey. The final section illuminates connections with the United States and Turkey regarding the improvement of string education. Recommendations for the enhancement of string education in Turkey are stated, based on the applications of current methods in music education
