NOTES:
The different pages included within this complete pdf file were a part of a unique handson audio-visual poster presentation at the 2014 Hawaiʻi Music Educators Conference at
the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Due to the nature of the presentation, the pages
within this file are combined with both landscape and portrait orientations. Please also
be aware that the two pages that comprise the “poster” portion of the presentation are
set up to print at 56” in length by 36” in height. All other pages are standard 8.5” by 11”.
I have included all signage that was used with the presentation as well. The only
portions of the presentation that could not be included within this pdf file are the
historical documents that were on display at the conference, and of course, the actual
mp3 recordings, which were re-mastered from the original 1968 33-1/3 L.P. vinyl
records that were produced for the HMEA All-State Honor Orchestra, Choir, and Band.
The entire presentation has been saved for future reference. If you should have a desire
to show the presentation at your school or organization, please feel free to contact me

A pictorial timeline of cultural, social, and educational
events throughout the history of Hawaiʻi relating to music
education - Presented by David W. Bandy,
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
February 15 – 16, 2014
PRE-WESTERN
CONTACT
PRE-MISSIONARY:
1778 - 1820
KINGDOM OF HAWAIʻI (MISSIONARY PERIOD) - OVERTHROW/PROVISSIONAL GOVERNMENT - REPUBLIC OF HAWAIʻI:
1820 - 1898
The basic form of musical expression in preEuropean Hawaiʻi was
chant. “The chant or
mele of Hawaiʻi is the
single most important
cultural expression belonging to Hawaiians.
In function and interpretation it represents
the inexplicable mysteries of the deepest
levels of physical and
spiritual union in
humankind and our
relationship to nature.
It represents the prehistorical and historical
events linking past
with present” (George
S. Kanahele, 1979).
1778: Captain James Cook
“discovers” the Sandwich
Islands and the gates are
opened for shipping routes
from beyond & new
musical sounds. - 1810:
Kamehameha I, also
known as Kamehameha
the Great, conquered the
Hawaiian Islands and
formally established the
Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. - 1819:
Kamehameha II discredited
the gods, over-turned the
ancient kapu system and
ordered the destruction of
temples and images. Less
than a year after
overturning the kapu,
Protestant missionaries
arrived from New England
and gradually established a
foothold for Christianity. 1820: The first Christian Missionaries arrive in Hawaiʻi from Boston. 1823: The first hymnal in the Hawaiian language was printed, and the first common schools began.
1836: King Kamehameha III establishes “The Kings Band.” 1839-40: The Chiefs Children’s School began, then Common schools were unified and students were all taught
to read (in Hawaiian), math, geography, and singing.
“School music has been more or less a part of the school curriculum in Hawaii ever since the missionaries established the mission schools during the latter part of the third
decade of the nineteenth century. The missionaries came from New England where singing schools were well known, and the establishment of singing schools in
connection with the mission schools was no surprise. For the most part, the singing schools met in the afternoon and followed instruction in the academic subjects. The
chief purpose was to teach hymns for congregational singing, but the activities were soon extended to include some instruction in music theory. For this purpose, music
theory was written in Hawaiian and printed in the front part of the hymn books. The Hawaiians were not only taught to read music and to sing hymns; some were trained to
assist in the mission schools. In fact, some became better music teachers than their mentors. They arranged exhibitions at examination time, exhibitions in which they
displayed creative talent. We might say these exhibitions were to them what our music festivals are to us. As is true today, in some mission schools music did not fare as
well as it did in others. The work seemed to go best in the districts under the jurisdiction of Reverend Lorenzo Lyons (Kawaihae and Hamakua on the Big Island). In some
other places progress was slow and results discouraging” (Dorothy M. Kahananui, 1967).
As the population grew, so did the number of schools and the education of music within the schools.
1872: Captain Henry Berger arrived from Prussia on June 3 to assume leadership of His Hawaiian Majesty’s Band. Berger became an iconic figure in the community and
also begins teaching singing, writing and composing music, and begins instrumental music in many schools, including the first band later at the Kamehameha School.
Last half-century – Na Lani ʻEhā: Named by the Hawaiian community not only for their musical abilities, but for their patronage in support of Hawaiʻi’s musical culture, the
Royal Composers, David Kalākaua, his sisters Lydia Kamakaʻeha Paki (Liliʻuokalani), Miriam Likelike, and brother William Pitt Leleiohoku, the youngest, are credited with
the vitality and rich musical environment enjoyed by all Hawaiians during the last half of the 1800s. Were it not for the dynamic cultural leadership and personal
contributions of Na Lani ‘Ehā (The Royal Four) in encouraging and supporting aspiring composers, singers, instrumentalists, dancers, chanters and poets, Hawaiʻi’s
significant musical contributions to the world might never have happened (http://www.hawaiimusicmuseum.org/).
TERRITORY – STATEHOOD:
1898 – 1959
1898: Hawaiʻi is annexed to the United States of America. 1923:
From 1923 through the war years (WW II), Dorothy M. Kahananui
was the major influence on music education in the state (territory).
It was her leadership that helped bring the UHM Music Department
to its present level of excellence. Late 1920s: Oʻahu Island had 3
Music Supervisors – other islands each had 1. With the
depression, all were removed. 1934: Dorothy M. Kahananui serves
as “Territorial Chairperson” for Hawaiʻi, but no HMEA organization
has been formed at that time. Late 1930s: First annual Oʻahu
School Music Festival held at McKinley HS. World War II Years:

Yearly music festivals were sponsored, curriculum guides were
organized and coordinated with school officials, as well as summer

Director of Music position (w/ a staff of 6), and 9 additional music teachers at the elementary school level - UH MENC Student Chapter is founded –

was held. 1964: Leon Burton becomes President of HMEA – HMEA holds its first annual All-Day Music Workshop (the predecessor of the now 2-day
conference). 1965: The first time that students from Hawaiʻi were chosen to perform in the All-Conference ensembles at the MENC Western Division
Conference, held in Long Beach, California – Dr. Paul Bodegraven (National President of MENC) conducted HMEA honor groups. 1966: HMEA AllDay Music Workshop has more than 500 people in attendance. 1967: The First Annual 2-day HMEA State Conference on Music Education is held at
McKinley HS – Dorothy Gillett nominated for Western Division MENC President – McKinley HS Band became the first Hawaiʻi student performance
ensemble to participate in a MENC Conference (Las Vegas, Nevada) – Tanglewood Symposium held. 1968: The Hawaiʻi Music Curriculum Project

Wind Ensemble performed the opening concert at the Mid-East Music Conference in Pittsburgh, PA. – HMEA membership numbers outgrow
associations in Delaware, Alaska, Nevada, Puerto Rico, Guam, & the Virgin Islands. 1975: Richard S. Lum once again serves as the HMEA
President. 1980s: The first time that the Leka is edited by an HMEA member who was not from the island of Oʻahu. 1985: Harold Higa assumes the
