Abstract
The study of history of music in the educational institutions in African has been lopsided with the history of European music study with a thin between the two cultures. The historical documentation of life and works of Western scholars and their African counterparts’ is presently besets with an imbalance. Most African institutions made students to study, analyze, and even research into the life and works of foreign musicologists, composers and performers to the detriments of the African indigenous scholars. In fact, history of music as a concept is synonymous and taken to mean just the knowledge of Western music history and researches have shown that music in the school curricular remained largely static due to the foreignness of the curricular. In view of these assertions, this paper, use biographical historical method, researches into the life and works of indigenous African musicologists. The paper concludes on the note that there is a need to have music curricular that is culturally and socially relevant, making use of available African musical resources, like the relevant data supplied in this essay, as a springboard for an effective dissemination of music knowledge in Nigeria.
