Abstract
- The article discusses the survey on the history of women in music education careers in the U.S. It notes that women music teachers in the said country have been active in community organizations, churches, and public and private schools. The Crane Institute of Music, founded by Julia E. Crane in 19th century, was the first institute to train music supervisors and kindergarten programs developed by woman in the U.S. The Music Supervisors National Conference which later became Music Educators National Conference (MENC) was organized by Frances E. Clark in 1907, though MENC had only elected 13 women as president from 1907-2010. The survey shows the importance of personal philosophy guidance, supportive mentors, and quality education in developing successful lifetime careers.
