1840s 1842 Choral Composer Conducting Conductor Exeter Gesture Lesson Manual Meeting Pupils Pyke Signs System Teacher Wilhelm Musical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures John Pyke Hullah (1812-1884), a renowned English composer and music teacher, conducting a lesson for his pupils during the Second Great Choral Meeting at Exeter Hall in 1842. Hullah, an advocate of the Wilhelm musical system, is seen employing manual signs to guide his students in their musical education. The Wilhelm system, also known as the London Signing System, was a method of communicating musical notes through manual gestures, which gained popularity in the 1840s as an alternative to traditional written music notation. Exeter Hall, a prominent venue for large-scale musical events in London, played host to numerous choral meetings and concerts during this period. Hullah's innovative approach to teaching music through the use of manual signs made him a pioneer in the field of music education. In this image, we witness the excitement and engagement of his pupils as they learn and practice under his expert guidance. Hullah's career as a composer and teacher spanned several decades, and his influence on the development of music education in England was significant. His use of the Wilhelm system in teaching music to the deaf and hard-of-hearing, as well as to those without access to traditional music education, made music more accessible to a wider audience. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing Hullah's groundbreaking teaching methods and the enthusiasm of his devoted pupils.
