Frederick
Harris (1866-1945) devoted his life
to music publishing. He began his career
in England working for a large music publishing
firm. In 1904, he set up his own business
in London and in 1910, established a Canadian
office in Toronto. This move marked the
beginning of a long association with The
Royal Conservatory of Music and resulted
in an increased emphasis on publications
for teaching and learning. |
Since its beginnings in 1886, The
Royal Conservatory of Music has become
one of the largest institutions for music
education in the world, providing a definitive
standard in music education through its
curriculum, examinations, and extensive
network of dedicated teachers. The internationally-respected
examination system is supported by the celebrated
teaching materials published by Frederick
Harris Music. Essential to the Frederick
Harris Music catalog are the renowned

the name of The
Royal Conservatory of Music. Teachers
and students across North America rely on
these publications as an internationally-proven
standard of excellence: Celebration Series®,

In
