Ear-Training and Sight-Singing Applied to Elementary Musical Theory: A Practical and Coördinated Course for Schools and Private Study (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Ear-Training and Sight-Singing Applied to Elementary Musical Theory: A Practical and Coördinated Course for Schools and Private Study

The purpose of this book is to present the Elements of Music in a direct and concise manner; to show as simply as possible the reason for these things; to give the pupil material for practice and instruct him how to use this material.

Each step is presented in three ways: first, exercises to be written; second, exercises for dictation to be used in Ear-training; third, exercises for Sight-reading.

Section A of each Lesson contains the exercises for written work; Sections B and C the exercises for Ear-training and Sight-reading.

In class-work it has been found practical to use three fifty-minute periods a week, devoting a period to each Section.

Following is the plan of the book, showing the development of the work and the order in which the factors are taken up.
