Notes for Catherine Pearl Crozier
Catharine Crozier, born on July 18, 1914 to Walter Stuart, a retired Presbyterian minister, and Alice Condit Crozier, originated in Hobart, Oklahoma.  As a young girl, Crozier enjoyed playing the organ, piano, and violin.  Owing to her proficiency in music, she could publicly perform by age six.  She received her preparatory education at Central High in Pueblo, Colorado from 1927 until 1931.  A year later Crozier began her undergraduate studies at the University of Rochester, at the Eastman School of Music.  She graduated in 1936 with a Bachelor of Music degree and a Performer’s Certificate.  Later that year, Crozier began graduate studies at the Eastman School, which awarded her a Masters of Music and an Artist’s Diploma in 1941.  On April 9, 1942, Crozier married Harold Gleason, a teacher under whom she had studied music.  From 1936 to 1956 Gleason served as an instructor, working her first two years as a fellowship teacher.  She gave lessons in the organ, harpsichord, and church service playing.  Additionally, in the summers of 1953 and 1955, she joined the faculty of the Andover Organ Institute.  Gleason participated in a variety of honorary and professional organizations, such as Mu Phi Epsilon, Pi Kappa Lamda, the American Guild of Organists, National Music Teachers, and the Rochester chapter of the United Nations.  Politically, Gleason identified as a Republican.  Her other achievements included the publication of a portion of her thesis, “The Principles of Keyboard Technique in Il Transilvano by Girolamo Diruta,” which appeared in the Mu Phi Epsilon’s The Triangle and the Andover Institute Quarterly7761
