Music master

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Music master is an older term for a music teacher , for the director of a musical performance, a band, a choir, an orchestra or for the director of military music .

The training to become a music master in the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht included a three-year course at the State Academic University of Music in Berlin with a musical and a military exam. The requirement was a six-year extension of service beyond the twelve-year service.

The Emperor Chun , who ruled ancient China in the second millennium BC, is said to have installed a Yueshi , a music master, for the first time. These possibly earliest historical approaches for the institution or the office of music master could be archaeologically confirmed by finds at least from the time of the Western Zhou dynasty (11th century - 771 BC), in which the music masters were among the core of the royal civil service and held a high rank there.

In today's Austrian military bands, the staff leader is referred to as the music master.
