Their mother, Margery Albright, was an artist. The Albrights had well-defined tastes that favored the wholesome sounds of classical or Broadway bits. Later in life, when Julie Albright would go on to become a beloved and respected piano teacher for hundreds throughout the Upper Valley, she would draw on those early experiences to develop her theory of music education.
Albright came to believe that teaching students to memorize songs by rote was really an act of cold transcription — notes mechanically transposed from the page of a songbook into the air.
