About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Text-Book on Rhetoric

No professor of music, text-book as well as instructor, sits down before his pupil, expounds the principles upon which the art rests, explains how this and that piece should be rendered, instances model performers, warns the pupil against the errors into which he is liable to fall, and then goes away imagining that his work is done, and that the youth is now, or, under such training, is likely ever to become, a musician. In addition to all this teaching, how many scores of times does he compel the practice, under his watchful eye and ear, of every scale and selection, insist upon the proper giving of every note, attend to the manipulation of all the organs con cerned in its making; and how rejoiced is he if, even with such minute and painstaking instruction, the pupil grows, under his tuition, into a tolerable singer or player!
