Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of this work is to impart the power to read vocal music. The plan is similar in every respect to a graded series of literary readers. Music, in fact, is a language, and should be learned just as any other language is learned, by using it. As the philosophy of language, or grammar, can be taught only when the language is well known, so the technicalities of music must come late in the course. Everything in this system tends to cultivate the power to do; yet a careful presentation of theoretic elements induces a growing independence on the part of the pupil from the beginning. Care is taken to make the pupil familiar with musical effects before they are named; for instance, the words major and minor are admitted only when the effects which these words represent are perfectly familiar to the ear. All non-musical and unscientific representations of music, such as diagrams, figures, circles, etc., are avoided. Experience proves that the full staff representation when properly presented is the simplest possible. A ny representation to the eye, of effects which are known only through the ear, is of necessity purely arbitrary, there being no natural relation whatever between the thing and its sign. Hence the assumed superiority of some modern devices is purely imaginary. The songs are such as a child who has accomplished the preceding exercises can actually read, and are, therefore, of a thoroughly educational character. () PrinM
