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

The purpose of this book is to present theE lements 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 forS ight-reading. Section A of each Lesson contains the exercises for written work; Sections Band Cthe exercises forE ar-training andS ightreading. In class-work it has been found practical to use three fiftyminute 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. An Acknowledgement The author wishes to express his thanks toD r.
