In 1903, Harriett Gibbs Marshall, the first African-American woman graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, opened the Washington Conservatory of Music. This was the first private conservatory owned and operated exclusively by black Americans. Most of the instructors were female graduates of leading music schools, and the majority of the students were women. This project examines the repertoire studied and performed at the Washington Conservatory in order to suggest that its program of study supported the genesis of a "black canon" developing in the United States. Several concert programs from the school thematize racial accomplishment by featuring works by prominent black composers. An investigation of repertoire, courses, letters, and financial records of the school describe the means by which Marshall negotiated a place within white dominated society using the cultural currency of "high" concert music. In addition, Marshall's career illustrates the contributions that black American women have made in shaping musical practice in the United States through their work as teachers and administrators.
