InSarah Anna Glover: Nineteenth Century Music Education Pioneer, Jane Southcott explores the life and pedagogy of Sarah Anna Glover, the female music education pioneer of congregational singing (psalmody) and singing in nineteenth-century schools. Glover devoted her life to the creation and propagation of a way of teaching class music that was meticulously devised, musically rigorous, and successfully promulgated. Southcott analyzes Glovers methods, history, and memory, and works to correct inaccuracies and misrepresentations that have emerged since Glovers death.Jane Southcottis associate professor of education at Monash University.

Southcott's work. . . provides an important missing piece to the history of music education. As there is a link from Curwen to Zoltan Kodaly, it is essential to know that Sarah Anna Glover formed part of that link as well. Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association

Jane Southcotts biography of Sarah Glover offers a scholarly and authoritative account of the life and work of this pioneer music educator. Throughout the engaging and accessible narrative, Southcott provides information that extends and corrects the work of previous scholars, while also capturing the character and spirit of Glover herself. Of particular interest are the clear and detailed descriptions of Glovers pedagogical processes and the often misunderstood relationship between her work and that of John Curwen. This book contributes a great deal to the historical record of music education and provides a model of research that other authors in our field should strive to emulate.
