George B. Loomis
George B. Loomis was an American music teacher who began teaching in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1866. He was recommended for the position by Lowell Mason, a prestigious American music educator, and worked for several years without instructional materials. In response to this void, he created Loomis' Progressive Music Lessons, a series of texts widely used in Indiana and surrounding states during the late 19th century.[1] He later became the first superintendent of music in the Indianapolis system.[2]
Loomis was also one of the charter members of the Indiana Music Teachers Association, founded in 1877, one of the first such organizations in the country.[3]
George B. Loomis Elementary School in Indianapolis is named after him.
