Tonic Sol-Fa Reporter
The Tonic Sol-Fa Reporter was a monthly music journal established by the London music publisher John Curwen in 1851.[1] Shortly after Curwen's death in 1880, his son, John Spencer Curwen, succeeded his father as managing editor in 1881.[2] In 1889 the journal was renamed the Musical Herald and Tonic Sol-Fa Reporter, and in 1891 the periodical was renamed a final time to The Musical Herald.[1] The publication had a large circulation and was one of the most widely read musical periodicals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[3] The journal was unusual in that its targeted audience was both professional and amateur musicians. The periodical included a mix of scholarly publications with a music education focus along with articles reviewing music events, interviews with musicians, music news items, and advertisements for music-related events, materials, and music education opportunities.[1] The periodical had a significant impact on the field of music education by contributing to the popularizing of the tonic sol-fa pedagogical technique for teaching sight-reading to singers.[4] It ceased publication in 1920.[1]
