Education
"Some colleges and universities, of course, offered instruction in band instruments prior to the 1900s. Many colleges and universities had established
bands before the 1900s, although most of these bands, with a few notable exceptions, were rather crude. If the institutions also offered lessons, which undoubtedly a few did, and perhaps a course in harmony, one could argue that these schools were offering
rudimentary training programs in instrumental music. But, these programs went on to success because were built on the backs of the professional itinerant musicians and their success was a result of such men."
