Abstract

During the 1960s the music of the Beatles was not the only new musical influence confronting schoolchildren. In a number of classrooms in England and North America could be heard sounds which related to the work of a number of twentieth century composers, notably John Cage, Edgard Varese, Stockhausen and many others. By 1970 "creative music in schools" had arrived. [The British Inspectorate of Schools issued a paper advocating the use of various improvisatory and compositional approaches to class music. Where did this all begin? This paper attempts to explain and trace the origins of such practices.
