Hall, was built by subscription and presented to See also:Hullah
.
It was inaugurated in 185o and burnt to the ground in 186o, a See also:blow from which Hullah was long in recovering
.
He had risked his all in the See also:maintenance of the building, and had to begin the See also:world again
.
A See also:series of lectures was given at the Royal Institution in 1861, and in 1864 he lectured in See also:Edinburgh, but in the following See also:year was unsuccessful in his application for the See also:Reid professorship
.
He conducted concerts in Edinburgh in 1866 and 1867, and the concerts of the Royal Academy of Music from 187o to 1873; he had been elected to the See also:committee of management in 1869
.
In 1872 he was appointed by the See also:Council of See also:Education musical inspector of training See also:schools for the See also:United See also:Kingdom
.

.
His compositions, which remained popular for some years after his See also:death in 1884, consisted mainly of See also:ballads; but his importance in the See also:history of music is owing to .his exertions in popularizing musical education, and his persistent opposition to the Tonic Sol-Fa system, which had a success he could not foresee

.
While it cannot be doubted that Hullah would have won more success if he had not opposed the Tonic Sol-Fa See also:movement so strenuously, it must be confessed that his See also:work was of See also:great value, for he kept constantly in. view and impressed upon all who followed him or learnt from him the supreme See also:necessity of maintaining the See also:artistic See also:standard of the music taught and studied, and of not allowing trumpery compositions to usurp the See also:place of See also:good music on See also:account of the greater ease with which they could be read
