Gallery of Notable Nineteenth Century Australian Music Educators

 
Heller and Wilson (1982) point out that biography is an important aspect of historical narrative in that it is inspirational and motivational; they also point out that "biography serves not only to provide worthy models, but also to cast notables of the past in accurate, life-like (and therefore replicable) human models of behaviour".

(Reference: Heller, G.N. & Wilson, B.D. (1982), 'Historical Research in Music Education: A Prolegomenon', Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education69, 1-20.)
