Hull House Music School

Located in the Near West Side of Chicago, Illinois, it was founded in 1893 by Eleanor Sophia Smith and Amalie Hannig.

It was started in the fourth year of Hull House's existence, although Smith and Hannig, who were its heads, had almost from the beginning held weekly classes there.

The school was designed to provide a thorough musical education to a limited number of talented children.

All pupils admitted to the instrumental department were obliged to enter classes in singing.

Since the beginning of Hull House, a Christmas concert was regularly given on the Sunday of Christmas week; after the establishment of the music school, it was rendered by the Hull House Music School.
