Excerpt from The Music Primer
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 gram mar, can only be taught when the language is well known, so the technical ities 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. Any 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.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to learning vocal music. Its graded series of lessons and exercises seeks to cultivate the power to read music. This method was developed and tested by teachers of the specific grade for which work is intended. As the author notes, technicalities of music must come late in the course of study, so this book focuses on developing a strong foundation. The book was developed to teach children how to read music, but the fundamentals are applicable to anyone beginning their musical journey. Lessons are designed to help the student hear and recognize musical effects before they are named, introducing terms like 'major' and 'minor' only when thoroughly familiar to the ear. This allows the student to develop a personal relationship with the music before diving into musical theory. Concepts such as scales and time signatures are taught through the use of familiar songs, making the learning process easier and more enjoyable. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780259192237_0
