Recitals
On May 22nd, 1919 the Florida State College for Women School of Music held a recital in the auditorium.
Some notable faculty of the School of Music around that time were:
Ewald Haun and Kathryn Reece. Haun studied at the Florida State College for Women (FSCW) in Tallahassee from 1919-1921 where she was the pupil of Emma Boyd. There are two documented recitals Reece performed in at FSCW, a song recital in 1920 and her graduation recital in 1921. She was a member of Sigma Alpha Iota and received a special diploma in voice.
Ella Scoble Opperman. She was the first director of the School of Music at the Florda State College for Women from 1911, and its first dean from 1920 until her retirement in 1944. Opperman was an accomplished pianist and organist and served also as a vocal coach. As an administrator, Opperman established courses leading to the first degree programs at the School of Music. The music library holds a collection of her personal effects and papers; materials pertaining to her role as dean are mostly housed in Special Collections & Archives at Strozier Library.
The School of Music has a large number of special collection. Most of the collections relate to one person, most of whom had some connection to the Florida State University or its predecessor, the Florida State College for Women. Notable exceptions are the Allen Forte Theory Treatise Collection and the Ethan Allen Hitchcock Flute Music Collection.
