edit Biography
Louise Farrenc enjoyed a considerable reputation during her own lifetime, as a composer, a performer and a teacher. She began piano studies at an early age with a Senora Soria, a former student of Muzio Clementi , but when it became clear she had the talent of a professional pianist, she was also given lessons by such masters as Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Nepomuk Hummel . Because she also showed great promise as a composer, her parents decided to let her study composition with Anton Reicha , at the time composition teacher at the Conservatoire. it is not yet clear if Louise Farrenc followed his classes there, as the composition class was at the time one of the classes opened only to men. She met Aristide Farrenc, a flute student ten years her senior, who performed at some of the concerts regularly given at the artists' colony of the Sorbonne, where Louise's family lived. She married him in 1821. She then interrupted her studies to concertize throughout France with her husband. He soon grew tired of the concert life and decided to open a publishing house in Paris, which as Éditions Farrenc, was one of France’s leading music publishers for nearly 40 years.

There is a wide range of free music teaching materials for KS3 and KS4 pupils including songs, royalty free sheet music, arrangements and documentation for music teachers. Also, there are sections on reviews of equipment, instruments and software and an on line help desk staffed by various experts in areas of music education. Complete and structured schemes of work, written by top UK music teachers are available on a subscription basis. This represents the largest collection of music teaching resources on the internet which includes all supporting materials, flashcards, pupil worksheets, teacher manuals, audio clips, video clips and interactive pupil interfaces. 8 Notes Music for Teachers : The Music for Teachers website is being developed to provide practical support for the design of Music Schemes of Work to match the requirements of the revised National Curriculum in England. Clear teaching objectives are suggested to provide a series of progressive 'steps' within the seven 'elements' of music and these are applied from Key Stage 1 to the end of Key Stage 3. This attempts to address the difficult issues of skills progression over the whole of the 3 key stages. Many other files and support materials, including extensive databases of songs and teaching ideas, are also available to download and the entire series of support materials can be made available on CD/ROM."

Louise Farrenc
Treasures of Pianists . She was a great admirer of early music, and its influence can be heard in her own musical compositions.
Early Affection for Piano
Farrenc was born Jeanne Louise Dumont in Paris, France, on May 31, 1804. This also happened to be the year Napoleon was crowned emperor of France, so she was born into a world that was in upheaval. She was born to Jacques-Edme Dumont and his wife. Her brother was Auguste Dumont. She was born into a long line of famous sculptors whose works have been shown in such famous places as the Louvre, Versailles, and Rouen, and in other cities around France. The family of sculptors could be traced back to the beginnings of the seventeenth century. Her family were also painters, and were part of a bohemian set in Paris that was very open to allowing women to explore their artistic abilities. Because of this, Farrenc was allowed the freedom to express her musical passions right from the start. She came to music early and showed great talent for it at a very young age. Farrenc started her piano studies at a young age. She began studying alongside Senora Soria, a student of the famous musician Clementi. She soon became very proficient, and began taking lessons from great piano masters such as Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Nepomuk Hummel. At the same time she studied the piano she also became interested in composing her own music. When she was only 15 years old her parents decided that she showed so much talent that they enrolled her at the Paris Conservatory, the most illustrious school for music in France. There, while she continued her piano lessons, she also studied the art of music composition under Anton Reicha.
