Excerpt from Listening Lessons in Music Graded for Schools The subject of appreciation is the latest phase of public school music to command attention, and while a few cities have given it a definite place in the course of study, ideas concerning its application to the classroom are more or less vague. Any kind of music lesson is incomplete if æsthetic consideration is omitted. There are many ways of bringing the subject to the class: through suitable textbook material, through the contributing influences of visiting artists, and through the use of the phonograph and player piano (the latter, however, not as yet practicable in grades because of its expense). The subject is easily presented by means of the phonograph. The kind of phonograph is of small consequence, providing it can render a good quality of tone and is easily operated. The essential requirements of the record are that it should possess tone quality worthy of imitation and should be fitted for educational purposes.

Excerpt from Heath's Common School Music Readers, Vol. 1: A New and Thoroughly Graded Course of Music Lessons for Primary, Intermediate and Grammar Schools, With Songs and Exercises There may be serious objections on the part of some that the Clef is omitted in the first book. The Author has designed that the entire contents of the first book be studied without instrumental aid consequently only relative pitch has been considered, leaving the Clef to be used in its proper place, when the subject of absolute pitch is introduced. It has been the intention not to introduce, as far as could be avoided, any musical characters until there seemed a necessity, and until they could be fully comprehended by the pupils.

Excerpt from Learning to Listen by Means of the Gramophone: A Course in the Appreciation of Music for Use in Schools I crossed the Charles River, that sunders Boston from Cambridge, took a trolley car to the famous Longfellow house, and walked along to the wooden mansion, which next to the White House itself was perhaps the most frequent objective of the enquiring traveller and the interviewing journalist. Its master, President Eliot, then over eighty years of age, had spent nearly fifty of those years in control of Harvard, and had seen all the developments in educational thought and practice which half a century at that busy period of the world's progress had brought with it. In a very interesting conversation he gave me some of his conclusions, and one of these was that music was, as an element in education of tar greater value than had even yet been realised. A good music school, he said (i give his actual words as I noted them at the time), gives an admirable training of eye, ear and hand, and imparts an accurate and faithful use of all the senses. It'is through a training of the senses to a high degree that the human race has attained all its most valuable knowledge, including the applied sciences of the last hundred years. Music is not physical training alone, but also intellectual and moral training. It is by a wonderful oo-ordination ot the senses, acting in common with the imagination and the reasoning power, that the greatest discoveries of the human mind are wrought out, and put to do the work of humanity. Music is not a mere recreation, a refined hobby. Actually it takes its place as an education - as - a means of developing the human child of drawing out latent powers and enabling him to make the best of himself. So far from being a special subject, to be reserved for the children of the well-to-do, music is one of the very best things for children who will leave school at fourteen. A musical training is the child's birthright, though often he may at present be deprived of it nothing will more perfectly cultivate the human spirit. Now President Eliot had a feeling of urgency in this matter that we here do not fully share at that time there were eighteen million children in the schools of the United States, and of these only five million were receiving any kind of systematic musical training. This proportion is immensely lower than with us, for throughout all our elementary schools and most of our secondary schools systematic musical training is given, and our problem is merely - can we improve our system? If our training does not tend to the production of the humane results promised by President Eliot, then our system is wrong somewhere. If it is not an education - 'fl means of develop ing the human child, of drawing out latent powers, an Opportunity of cultivating the human spirit, it is some where incomplete, and this, I think, is actually the case.

Excerpt from Songs in Sol-Fa: For the Sunday School, Day School and Singing School, Containing a Brief Course of Instruction, and a Graded Selection of Songs in the Tonic Sol-Fa System Hang up a modulator in plain View of the whole school. Let the teacher, or leader (at first only using the easier tunes), sing a short phrase of the tune to the syllables, pointing on the modulator as he sings. Pupils repeat the phrase, the teacher pointing as they sing. Let this be done several times, or until the phrase is somewhat familiar. Teach the next phrase in the same way; then sing the two in connection, and so on, until the whole tune can be sung by the syllables, the teacher still pointing on the modulator. Then turn to the book, and sing the tune to the syllables. If the pupils fail at any point, return to. The modulator and practice the difficult passage as before. When the tune is learned, call attention to the Words, their meaning, the sentiment, etc., and then sing the tune to the words. When the practice is conducted in this way, it will not be long until the most difficult tunes can be easily taught. Not only that, but after a time, the tones will become so familiar that the modulator can be dispensed with, and the tunes taught at once from the book by syllable. Observe that the teacher does not sing with the pupils. They listen and look While he sings and points. He points and listens while they sing. One hour's training of this kind is more effective than five hours spent in singing with the teacher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
