Sousa grew up with the Marine Band, and his intimate knowledge of the band coupled with his great ability provided the ideal medium to showcase the marches which would earn him the title, the "March King." Sousa was born Nov. 6, 1854, at 636 G Street, SE, Washington, DC, near the Marine Barracks where his father, Antonio, was a musician in the Marine Band. He received his grammar school education in Washington and for several of his school years enrolled in a private conservatory of music operated by John Esputa, Jr. There he studied piano and most of the orchestral instruments, but his first love was the violin. John Philip Sousa gained great proficiency on the violin, and at the age of 13 he was almost persuaded to join a circus band. However, his father intervened and enlisted him as an apprentice musician in the Marine Band. Except for a period of six months, Sousa remained in the band until he was 20. In addition to his musical training in the Marine Band, he studied music theory and composition with George Felix Benkert, a noted Washington orchestra leader and teacher.

The Mediadrome Search WWW John Philip Sousa: The Leader of the Band by Debra Pawlak American history is rich with extraordinary men and women. Some performed heroic deeds while some created gifts for the soul. John Philip Sousa spent a lifetime composing music that reflected his passion for America. He embraced his country penning high-stepping marches that, to this day, bring us together and strengthen our resolve during troubled times. Well-respected and admired, not only at home, but also around the world, he musically defined the spirit of America. His classic marches, with their energy and style, carried us through two world wars and still awaken our sense of patriotism when we need it most. Appropriately enough, John Philip Sousa was born in Washington, D.C. on November 6, 1854, the third of ten children. As fate would have it his father, Antonio, played trombone in the U.S. Marine Band and introduced his son to music. By the time he was six, the young Sousa was enrolled in John Esputa Jr.'s conservatory where his studies included voice, violin, piano, and flute, as well as music theory. While Sousa studied music, Americans fought Americans in the Civil War. The sight of gravely wounded soldiers mixed with the sound of stirring military bands indelibly touched his soul. Traveling to Gettysburg with the Marine Band, he witnessed Lincoln's address. From the depths of one of our nation's darkest hours emerged the man who expressed his pride in America with music, but things might have turned out differently if Antonio Sousa hadn't been paying attention.

Newspapers Some materials require the Flash 6 plug-in MUSIC and LITERATURE John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) was very interested in the 1882 transit of Venus. In 1882-3 he wrote his 'Venus Transit March.' He didn't write it specifically to commemorate the transit itself, but wrote it to honor the great American physicist Prof. Joseph Henry who had died on May 13, 1878. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. asked Sousa to write this march for the planned unveiling of the statue of Henry in front of the Smithsonian Institution in 1883. The music was to be played while dignitaries solomnly walked from the museum to a special receiving stand in front of the Smithsonian. Sousa's Transit of Venus March remains a delightful, and rarely-played addition to Sousa's opus of compositions.

35. Humble Harmonica In History. The Marine Band model, which became the most popular harmonica of all time, was named after the famous band led by American bandmaster john philip sousa. http://www.euxton.com/harmonica/history2.htm

The Village of Euxton, Lancashire, England. Euxton dot com The Humble Harmonica in History The origins of the harmonica are obscure, but it seems to have appeared first in Germany. There several tinkerers devised instruments based on the the fact that air blown over a reed fixed at one end but floating free at the other produces a note that can be tuned according to the length and thickness of the reed. By putting several reeds side by side and tuning them to the scale, one can create a musical instrument. Around the beginning of the last century, Christian Friedrich Buschmann, an early maker, wrote his brother that he had invented "a new instrument that is truly remarkable. In its entirety it measures but four inches in diameter but gives me twenty-one notes, all the pianissimos and crescendos one could want without a keyboard, harmonies of six tones, and the ability to hold a note as long as one would wish to." A few years later, a Bohemian inventor named Joseph Richter improved on Buschmann's idea by adding a second row of reeds above the first but oriented in the opposite direction. Under this arrangement the notes of the bottom row sounded as the player blew air out, and the upper notes sounded when the breath was drawn in. By the time Matthias Hohner came along, the basic form of the harmonica had already been set. Hohner actually was more an entrepreneur than an inventor. His most distinctive contribution to the instrument's development were the ornately engraved cover plates bearing the company name. Still, he put his considerable talents of salesmanship and promotion to work, improving production and buying up competitors.
