Administrative History
The L.D.S. School of Music (1920-1924) was a private music school in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The L.D.S. School of Music was initially established as the Music Department of the Latter-day Saints University under B. Cecil Gates. In 1920 the president of the university, Guy C. Wilson, reorganized the department as a private music school. First located in the Gardo House, it was moved to the McCune Mansion in April 1921. The school also operated offices in the Historian's Office building and the Assembly Hall. The faculty provided junior college course instruction in piano, voice, violin, cello, drums, woodwinds, brass, music theory, drama, and dance. In 1924 the school was renamed the McCune School of Music and Art.
Administrative History
The McCune School of Music and Art (1924-1957) was a private school for music and art in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The McCune School of Music and Art was previously known as the L.D.S. School of Music, which was renamed in 1924. The school was located in the McCune Mansion in Salt Lake City, Utah, and initially offered junior college-level courses in music and dance. The school was accredited by the the National Association of Schools of Music in 1928, and an art program was started in 1939. However, in 1942 the administration began to reposition the school as a preparatory school of junior high and high school students. In 1952 the school became a branch of Brigham Young University. Due to problems with accreditation, it was disassociated with the university in 1956 and closed by the Church Board of Education in 1957.
