Music in Special Education Before 1930: Hearing and Speech Development.
Solomon, Alan L.
Journal of Research in Music Education, v28 n4 p236-42 Win 1980
This paper examines the ways music has, historically, been used to treat two problems common to many areas of exceptionality: retarded speech development and impaired hearing. Evidence is presented of nineteenth-century classroom practices, early diagnostic uses of music to determine hearing capacity, and uses of music to develop speech. (Author/SJL)
