George B. Loomis was an American music teacher who began teaching in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1866. He was recommended for the position by Lowell Mason, a prestigious American music educator, and worked for several years without instructional materials. In response to this void, he created ''Loomis' Progressive Music Lessons'', a series of texts widely used in Indiana and surrounding states during the late 19th century.〔Birge, pg. 95〕 He later became the first superintendent of music in the Indianapolis system.〔Indiana Historical Commission〕 Loomis was also one of the charter members of the Indiana Music Teachers Association, founded in 1877, one of the first such organizations in the country.〔Birge, pg. 97〕 George B. Loomis Elementary School in Indianapolis is named after him. ==References== * * 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「George B. Loomis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
