The Leinster School of Music & Drama provides tuition and examinations in music and drama throughout Ireland. ''"She beckoned to him with her finger like one preparing a certificate in pianoforte...at the Leinster School of Music."'' (Samuel Beckett) ==History== The School was founded in 1904 by Samuel Myerscough(1854–1932), an acclaimed musician, teacher and examiner. Even in the School's infancy students travelled from throughout Ireland to attend lessons. ''The Musical Herald'' of 1 July 1909 wrote at length of Mr Myerscough's prominence in Irish musical life: "The work by which Mr. Myerscough will be best remembered is the Leinster School of Music, of which he is the founder and inspiring force. .... Pupils came from as far north as Enniskillen, southwards from Waterford, and across from Galway." In December 1941 the Irish Department of Education officially recognised the Leinster School's Teacher's Music Diploma as a qualification for teaching in secondary schools. According to the Irish Art Handbook of 1949 the School had "become one of the most important influences on the musical life of the country as a teaching, examining body."〔Irish Art Handbook, Dublin, 1949〕 The School's original teaching staff included Madame Quinton Rosse, Madame Coslett Heller and esteemed piano tutors Patricia Read and May Cosgrave(Sister of William T. Cosgrave 〔(Memoirs of a Part-Time Wandering Minstrel, by John Miley )〕) Professor Patrick Joseph Griffith, a noted teacher fiddle/violin player, and collector of Irish Music, was a Director and Professor of the school during its early years, teaching Violin and Viola.〔(Sketches of Famous Fiddlers ) website of Bill Haneman〕 Arthur Warren Darley composer who put music to some famous Irish ballads (The Boys of Wexford, "Boolavogue" and "Kelly the Boy from Killanne") was a professor at the school. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leinster School of Music & Drama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
