Biography
Philip Hayden was born on November 20, 1854 to Joel and Fanny Hayden.
His parents were Midwestern farmers.
Philip was athletically inclined and was involved in sports in his school
years. He was consistently involved
in choral ensembles at school and church throughout his formative years.
A man of deep faith, Hayden enrolled in Oberlin Seminary with the
intention of being a Congregational minister in 1881.
In that same year, he dropped out of the seminary and abandoned his
pursuit of ministry, though he had a lifelong devotion to his religion.
In 1886 he married Mary Nelly Raiston.
Together they have two children; Joseph and Van Brooklyn.
He was appointed as the first supervisor of music in Quincy, Illinois in
1888. In 1900 the administrative powers that be decided that a
capital fund was necessary and eliminated the music supervisor position of the
system. For this reason he moved
across the river to Keokuk, Iowa to take the position of music supervisor.
In 1900, Hayden founded a landmark publication called School Music Monthly,
later renamed simply School Music. This
periodical was dedicated a broad spectrum of issues dealing with public school
music education. Hayden was editor
of this publication for many years, and was a frequent contributor (see
publications).
In 1907 Mr. Hayden decided to call a meeting of music supervisors to
demonstrate a new innovation that he had invented called, “Music Forms” and
other topics of common interest. Hayden
saw this meeting as a natural alternative to the meeting of the National
Educators Association Meeting that was being held in California that year.
Hayden felt that California was too far for midwestern educators to
travel for a conference in those days. This
historic meeting in Keokuk was such a success that it was the impetus to regular
meetings and conferences. The new
group that was born was known as the Music Supervisors National Conference,
later the Music Educators National Conference or MENC.
Philip Hayden died in 1925.
