How to Study Music is a book intended specifically for the student of music, and not the teacher. It is intended as a companion piece for an individual currently pursuing education in music, whether formally at an institution, with a private tutor, or through a self-taught curriculum. The book opens with a discussion of the difficulties in the study of music, which the author believes are primarily the result of poor teaching methods. Farnsworth goes on to discuss broad topics such as how to best listen to music, how to learn musical notations, how a child should learn to sing, how to enjoy both classical and modern music, how to learn to play an instrument, how to select music, and several other topics. How To Study Music concludes with a chapter on learning to enjoy music in the family setting, which the author believes is one of the most important lessons of all.
How to Study Music is a practical book. While it discusses the technical aspects of learning to study music, it also approaches the social aspects that are equally important. Farnsworth recognizes that the most important trait in becoming a talented musician is a love of music, and he attempts to foster that love through his writing. While some of the discussion may be too advanced for a child learning music, an adult learner will likely find this to be a fascinating read.
Charles Farnsworth's book is an invaluable resource for the individual pursuing music studies. How to Study Music teaches the reader many things that are ignored in formal study programs, and as such this book should be mandatory reading for anybody that truly wants to become great at music. Highly recommended.
