Biography

Lockhart played the or­gan at the Lock Hos­pi­tal, and was for some years as­so­ci­at­ed with Mar­tin Ma­dan in the mu­sic­al ar­range­ments there.

Though blind from in­fan­cy, Lock­hart had a dis­tinct mu­sic­al gift, and was es­pe­cial­ly known for train­ing child­ren’s choirs. His ear­li­est tunes were print­ed on sep­a­rate sheets. He pub­lished a set of hymn tunes about 1810.
