Description:
Around 1944 Glover founded the Glover School of Music in Portsmouth, Virginia. In the early 1950s he began to publish a large number of original piano solos as sheet music. Unlike most other composers of the time who specialized in works for piano students, Glover published an extensive output in the styles of boogie-woogie and jazz. He also wrote many series of piano and organ method books, such as the David Carr Glover Piano Course (1956), Boogie-Woogie and How to Play It (1958), David Carr Glover New Organ Course (1962), Playing the Piano (1963), Piano Student and Piano Repertoire (1967), and David Carr Glover Method for Piano (1988). Some of these method books are still widely used today.
