Andreas Fischer: The Music Educator, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Ukulele method books on the North American mainland and at the same time one of the stil, underestimated boundary figures between music pedagogy, commerce, and technical development. His self-instruction manual, published in 1914 by Sherman, Clay & Co., San Francisco, is identified in the scholarship as one of the early mainland methods alongside Kealakai and Kia. The source-critical payoff of this study, however, lies in sharpening his professional profile: Bailey was not only a music educator, method author, and studio director, but also a patented technical inventor and instrument developer. Three U. S. patents can be documented, for the Violin friction-peg, the Musical-instrument mouthpiece, and the Hanger, identifying him as a developer of concrete hardware and playing aids. The present study reconstructs Baileys biography through source criticism, situates him within the marketing and teaching programs of Sherman, Clay & Co. , House of Hawaiian Hit, and links teaching pedagogy, commercial networks, copyright trails, and patents into a more precisely defined overall profile.
