Synopsis
Excerpt from The Normal Music Course: A Series of Exercises, Studies, and Songs, Defining and Illustrating the Art of Sight Reading; Progressively Arranged From the First Conception and Production of Tones to the Most Advanced Choral Practice; First Reader
The Manual of Instructions to teachers, accompanying the First Reader of the Normal Music Course, has been specially prepared to meet the requirements of the teachers in Canadian schools.
In many of our schools music has not been taught at all; in some, the theory only has been studied, in preparation for examinations; in others, rote-singing has been practised for the purpose of adding to pro grammes of closing exercises. N o systematic instruction has been attempted.
It is hoped that with the use of the books of this course the teachers will be enabled to place music, with its widespread refining influence, in its proper position as one of the most useful and interesting subjects of the public school course.
This can only be done by careful and systematic teaching. It must not be treated as a storehouse of puzzling facts, or picked up and thrown aside as a child's toy.
It is the aim to present here a carefully graded series of exercises and songs, and such clear directions to teachers that it will be in the power of every teacher, with a little study, to successfully teach the subject. Very little executive ability as a singer is required. In teaching the Rote-songs, one must be able to give an accurate rendering of each for imitation. Should this be beyond the power of anyone, by reason of possessing a poor voice, or not having, had sufficient practice, the diffi culty may be easily overcome by exchanging places temporarily with another teacher. Apart from Rote-singing, any teacher who can sing the major scale correctly is competent to direct pupils as herein suggested.
