Abstract
Robert Prescott Stewart’s professional career as a music educator was
greatly enhanced in 1862 when he was offered the music professorship
at Trinity College Dublin.1 Nine years later his association with the
Royal Irish Academy of Music commenced when he was appointed
professor of piano and harmony and composition. This article will
discuss contributions made by Stewart as professor of music at Trinity
College to the area of the examination of the music degree candidates
and will consider similar practices at Oxford and Cambridge in order to
evaluate these contributions in a wider context. Accounts and opinions
of Stewart as a teacher at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and as
music professor at Trinity College will also be observed. Some of
Stewart’s lectures will be discussed in relation to how they reflect
Stewart’s awareness of and interest in current trends and opinions.
