Sarah Glover
Sarah Ann Glover (* 1785 in Norwich , † 1867 in Malvern ), pastor's daughter and director of a Sunday school, made a name for herself as a music educator.
She published and practiced the Norwich sol-fa , a simple method of music education , in her hometown of Norwich and some English counties from around 1830 . Their system was based on a simplified notation of tone syllables and rhythms. This system started one of the most successful singing movements in Great Britain through John Curwen , founder of the Tonic Sol-Fa Association . Curwen specifically relies on Sarah Glover. His achievement lies primarily in the field of didactics and organization. The solmisation as the basis of music education led, due to its sweeping personality, the English music lessons and choir singing to an unexpected bloom.
