Synopsis

Excerpt from First Music Reader

The aim' Of this Course is to develop in the pupil an intelligent appreciation and enjoyment of good music, a musical and expressive voice, the ability to read music at sight, and the power Of musical interpretation.

To inspire love of good music. To appreciate the power and beauty of music, the pupil must become familiar with well-written music of various kinds in selections that shall be interesting from his own point of w as well as admirable from that Of the critical musician. By familiar association with such music and wisely directed study of it the pupil's taste is tivated and a love of good music is fostered. With this in w the Course provides a great variety of selections led from the best available sources.

To develop a musical voice. The proper treatment Of the child voice is Of great importance and has received the utmost attention in these books. No elaborate scheme of voice ture is desirable or practicable in the elementary schools; but, beginning with the tivation of the head-tone quality of the child voice through the descending scale, the few simple vital principles which induce breath control, proper tone direction, voice quality, and enunciation are presented in specific voice drills and underlie the material Of the entire Course.

In each grade all selections are so placed in pitch and range as to conserve and foster the pupil's voice at that stage of his development. The aim is to estab lish early so thoroughly a correct use Of the voice that the vocal poise is not lost when the attention is given to the intellectual demands of sight singing.
