Madeleine Carabo-Cone (born Madeline Coffman; 1913 – 1988) was an American violinist and music educator known for developing the sensory-motor approach to music education which bears her name. Her work continues to influence the way music is taught to preschool and elementary age children.[2]

She spent the first part of her childhood and early musical training in Pittsburgh, where she was recognized as a violin prodigy, giving her first performance at the age of five.[3] In 1927 her family moved to Chicago where she attended the American Conservatory of Music and won numerous awards.

Upon earning a scholarship to Juilliard and moving to New York City, she began using the professional name "Madeleine Carabo". After graduation, she joined the Cleveland Orchestra as their first female violinist in many years. Throughout the late 1930s and 1940s she performed as a soloist in prestigious venues both in the US and abroad, often showcasing modern American composers such as Cowell, Ives, Harris, and Kay.

After marrying and starting a family, her focus and passion turned to music education for young children. As Madeleine Carabo-Cone, she authored multiple books and articles on her novel approach. Giving demonstrations of her method, she was a frequent invited lecturer at schools and universities around the world, as well as a guest on popular television and radio shows.


Early Life and Musical Training as Madeline Coffman[edit]

Madeleine Carabo was born Madeline Coffman in 1913 to a Jewish immigrant family in St. Louis. Before emigration, her father's original family name had been Karabowsky, which became the inspiration for her stage name in later life.[4] When she was a year old, she and her family moved to Pittsburgh.[1]. There she studied violin under Max Shapiro, Ralph Lewando, and Adolph M. Foerster. When she was 14, her family moved to Chicago where she won a scholarship to study at the American Conservatory of Music and trained under Herbert Butler, Ludwig Becker and Mischa Mischakoff.

Pittsburgh (1915-1926)[edit]

Madeline Coffman, June 1921

Growing up in Pittsburgh she began studying violin under the tutelage of Max Shapiro.[5] Early on she was recognized as a musical prodigy.[6][7] As young as eleven, she was a frequent invited performer for public programs.[8][9][10]

She later trained under Ralph Lewando and noted composer Adolph M. Foerster.[11]

She attended Dilworth Elementary School, and after graduation was named one of the top five elementary-aged students in Allegheny County as determined by the mental tests given by the county Civic club.[12] At age 13 she was chosen as one of two delegates to represent her locality at the Pennsylvania State Federation of Music clubs. There she won the Curtis school scholarship to continue her education.[13][14] The article announcing her win praised her abilities:

The girl astounded those who attended the convention with her analysis of the Mendelssohn violin concerto In E minor, after generalizing which the girl took up her violin and illustrated many of her points by playing unaccompanied many of the passages from the work.

The youthful artist has played in Pittsburgh several times this season and is exceptionally talented. Her playing at the student recital given by Ralph Lewando in Carnegie Lecture hall last week was one of the brightest spots in the floor of spring recitals.

Chicago (1927-1936)[edit]

In 1927, she and her family moved to Chicago in order for her to join the American Conservatory Symphony Orchestra under Herbert Butler. On February 5, she was heard in recital at Kimball Hall along with other members of the Junior Ensemble.[15] She was one of three soloists during their December 12, 1927 performance at Orchestra Hall. Albert Goldberg of Musical America stated that she "displayed accuracy of technic and a lovely tone."[16][17]

In 1930, she won a scholarship prize entitling her to play with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at its annual mid-winter concert in Orchestra Hall.[11][18] The performance was reviewed by Jeannette Cox for the Musical Courier:[19]

"The pupils who appeared won the honor after a contest in which they were selected by a board of prominent musicians not connected with the school. [...] Madeline Coffman, a young girl, played like a routined violinist the first movement of Mozart’s Concerto in D major."

By 1931 she had joined the Ludwig Becker studio and was a soloist for the symphony orchestra at the Columbia School of Music.[20] For the next two years she was a consistently featured soloist in their concerts[21][22], while also privately touring Chicago and Kenosha as a member of the "Chicago Trio."[23]

In October of 1934 she made her "debut violin recital" at Kimball Hall, and received plaudits from many reviewers.[24] Edward Moore of the Chicago Tribune wrote, "There are reasons for hoping for her future appearances, most of them based on the tone, the facility, and the style that she uncovered on this occasion."[25] March A. McLeod of Musical America stated, "Miss Coffman displayed a good musical foundation and a vigorous style."[26] René Devries writing for the Musical Courier said, "In a well chosen program she acquitted herself admirably and revealed herself a young artist with qualifications which should carry her far in her chosen field."[27]

Still at the American Conservatory, by the end of 1934 she had began studying under the renowned Mischa Mischakoff[28] She had also become well-enough known outside of Chicago to be invited back to Kenosha as a solo guest performer. Prior to the recital, she was promoted as "regarded by music critics as one of the most talented young violinists in America."[29] In a review following the concert, "The brilliance of her presentations" was noted, stating she was "possessed not only of recognized talent but also of a vivid and extremely charming personality which is strongly reflected in her renditions." [30]

In 1935, she won a $150 scholarship award for Jewish female violinists sponsored by the Alpha Delta Mu sorority.[31][32] Also that year she beat out 37 other string musicians to win the spring scholarship contest of the Chicago Woman's Musical club.[33] Winners of that award were presented in a special concert early the following year.[34] All through 1936 she continued performing as an invited soloist at events around the Chicago area and in the midwest.[35][36] At Bowling Green State University she was called a "brilliant young American violinist."[37]

Performance Career as Madeleine Carabo[edit]

It was announced in the fall of 1936 that she had won a graduate fellowship to the Juilliard School of Music on the recommendation of Frederick Stock.[38][39] While in New York, she began performing under the name "Madeleine Carabo." She performed as a soloist in venues such as Town Hall and Carnegie Hall until 1943, when she was hired by the Cleveland Orchestra as a member of their first violin section. While in Cleveland she met and married composer Harold S. Cone and subsequently moved back to New York City with him to restart her solo career.

New York Debut[edit]

In the fall of 1936, Madeline Coffman left Chicago to attend Juilliard, where she began studying under Benno Rabinof and Nathan Milstein.[38][40]

Soon thereafter, she decided to change her stage name to "Carabo." The new name had a personal connection to her. As she explained in a letter to her cousin, "I use the professional name of Cárabo which comes from my father’s (and your mother’s) original family name - Karabowsky."[4]

It was as Madeleine Carabo that she made her New York City debut in Town Hall on December 5, 1938.[41] The weeks before her debut included a series of local recitals for her supporters, including one where played the Booth Stradivarius on loan.[42] As explained by Alice Cambridge of the Daily Times:

The Booth Stradivarius which she played has an interesting history. It came into the possession of the Booth family in the middle of the 19th century, was later sold to a dealer in London, then came into the possession of the Havemeyer family and finally of Mischa Mischakoff, who was Miss Carabo's teacher.[43]

While her Mamaroneck supporters had been enthusiastic about her prelude performances (Alice Cambridge in the article above termed that one a "brilliant recital", and the same paper called a second one an "outstanding concert"[44]), the New York City critics were less thrilled with her debut. The Herald Tribune wrote:

Miss Carabo’s playing gave an impression of technical competence and dexterity. Her tone was of satisfactory volume and commendable quality, apart from occasional passages marked by incomplete clarity and some slight lapses from fidelity to pitch early in the concert. While the tonal timbre was likeable, her interpretations seemed at times more limited in color and expressive range than the music warranted, although there were measures when the performance was marked by a considerable increase in intensity and emotional persuasiveness.[45]

The New York Times was even more dismissive in its review, writing, "Although she listed a far-ranging program of works by Vitali, Vivaldi-Respighi, Schelling, Lalo and others, it served no better purpose than to reveal her palpable unreadiness for the serious test of a New York debut."[46]

Eighteen months later her performance at Carnegie Hall on May 1, 1940 was more positively received. This time the (unnamed) New York Times reviewer wrote:

Miss Carabo proved to be a serious and musicianly performer with a well-developed technique and a tone which, though small, was sensitive and sweet. Refinement and grace, rather than fire or power, were the outstanding characteristics of her carefully worked-out interpretations. Her playing was clean, nice in its sense of phrase and melodic line, and often charmingly colored.[47]

The reviewer for the Musical Courier said she "impressed as a serious and musicianly player,"[48] while the Herald Tribune noted she "brought pleasure through her discerning musicianship."[49]

Cleveland Orchestra (1943-1944)[edit]

In 1943, Carabo joined the Cleveland Orchestra. She was the first woman to be hired into its first violin section since since 1918.[c][50]

Writing and Lecturing as Madeleine Carabo-Cone[edit]

In addition to her ongoing performance career, during the 1940s she began taking a serious interest in pedagogy, which would ultimately become her life's work.[55]

Phase 3: She got married and moved back to New York, where she began raising her family and developing her method of teaching music. She studied violin with Georges Enesco, Mischa Mischakoff and Adolfo Betti, and won both a Juilliard Graduate Fellowship Award and the Frederick Stock Award in Chicago.[56][57]

and gave New York City’s first performances of works by Henry Cowell, Charles Ives, Roy Harris, and Aaron Copeland.[2]

As Madeleine Carabo-Cone, she performed in chamber music concerts alongside her concert pianist husband, Harold Cone. The duo performed extensively in both the and abroad. [1970]

The Carabo-Cone Method of Music Teaching[edit]

Madeleine Carabo-Cone demonstrating her method of teaching music

After several years of teaching music in Scarsdale NY, she developed the Carabo-Cone method which introduces children to the fundamentals of music through organized play activities. Her teaching philosophy was first articulated in her books How to Help Children Learn Music (1955) and The Playground as Music Teacher (1959)

As stated in Women and Music in America since 1900:

"Influenced by the learning theories of Jean Piaget and Jerome Bruner, the Carabo-Cone method allows for different learning styles by involving children in planned visual, tactile, and motor experiences. Reliance on sense perception more than on verbalization gives children from varying backgrounds an equal opportunity to learn. [...] The Carabo-Cone method became widely accepted, even by those who were unaware of its name or origin. Educators soon appropriated these ideas for music learning games and began to decorate their classrooms with icons that could help children become musically literate. Thus Carabo-Cone’s approach came to influence music teachers everywhere."[56]

By the time of her death in 1988, her books Concepts for Strings (1967) and A Sensory-Motor Approach to Music Learning (1969) were acclaimed by many pedagogues.[2]

Personal Life[edit]

She married pianist Harold Cone in 1944 and had two children.

Madeleine Carabo-Cone died on 14 August 1988 in Westchester, NY.

Nathan Milstein Carl Friedberg. _______________________________

Madeleine Carabo-Cone became known in the 1960s and 1970s through her workshops and writing and for her new approach to music education. Her influence on the way music is taught to preschool and elementary-age children is acknowledged less often.
