LOUGHLIN, 36 "Winter St., Boston- TO TEACHERS. " Singing- as it happens," as the celebrated Dr. A. B. Marx terms it, is that which is most common among the people. It is fostered and vigorously perpetuated in our Sunday Schools, and in common schools where no regular instruction in music is given, and where the object is to have the children sing a few simple melodies, without reference to musical culture as such. The songs, never above a certain degree of difficulty, are learned by hearing them repeatedly sung or played, or by singing them many times in company with those who already know them. This kind of singing is not altogether useless, as in many cases there is a freshness and energy about it which serves to awaken a love for singing, and to furnish a basis on which to build a subsequent course of musical instruction. But there is a wide distinction between this hap-hazard singing and genuine " Rote-Singing." The latter is the most important part of instruction, without which in fact there can be no real tuition in vocal music. Genuine rote-singing implants at the beginning true musical impressions. It leads to a discrimination between a musical and unmusical style. A child will learn more easily, and enjoy better, singing in a good than in a bad style, if he has right examples at the start. And it is obvious that where he receives the true idea at the very beginning he is more likely to persevere from the love of it. In this point of view every vocal artist is a teacher in the best sense of the term. When such singers as Jenny Lind, Sontag, Parepa-Rosa, and Nilsson come among us, the public authorities should secure their services to sing appro- priate music before the common people, and especially the children. By this means the people would get a true idea of singing. We propose in the course of instruction indicated in the series of National Music Readers and Charts to do away with all hap-hazard singing. We therefore, start with a regular course of instruction in rote singing, as indi- cated in the National Music Teacher*; and we endeavor to preserve all * THE NATIONAL MUSIC TEACHER : A Practical Guide in teaching Vocal Music and Sight-Singing to the youngest Pupils in Schools and Families. Designed to accompany the National Music Charts and Music Readers. By Lutheb Whiting Mason, Superin- tendent of Music in the Primary Schools of Boston, Mass. M193173 IV TO TEACHERS. the freshness and energy of the " singing as it happens " without any of its vicious qualities. In the first course, in connection with rote singing, the pupils have learned all the alphabet of music in a practical way. In this second book we keep up the practice of rote-singing so far as learning the songs ; but the pupils are expected to be greatly aided by their knowledge of the notes, so as to learn the two-part songs by note after having heard them sung or played correctly once or twice. A plain choral in two voices they are expected to sing at sight, so that the third time they will be able to apply the words. In carrying on this work, as remarked by James Currie in his excellent work on Common School Education, " the means of instruction are three-fold : instruc- tion, example, and practice. Without instruction there cannot be intelligence ; without example, which shall hold up models for imitation, there cannot be expression or tasteful singing ; and without sufficient practice there cannot be correctness or fluency." Perhaps the second of these means is the one most neg- lected. Much bad singing arises from the absence of example to show how it is to be done ; without which instruction cannot be fully understood, and prac- tice may only be the practice of a bad style. The teacher must sing to the school, to show them how to sing. Many teachers may not feel confidence in their own musical powers sufficient to enable them to carry out the work as they feel that it ought to be done. But if we wait till all are competent to give the best instruction, it will be a long day before good music will become as common as all desire it to be. Every teacher can do some of the most essential things toward her pupils' improvement in singing. Among the points that may be observed by all teachers, whether gifted as singers or not, are the following — mostly recommended by the author last quoted : — 1. Require a good position of the pupils while singing. 2. Do not allow them to sing too loud or shout instead of singing. 3. Do not let them heavily drag the rhythm. 4. Do not permit coarseness of utterance or indistinct articulation. 5. From the very first, aim at imparting a generally soft style of singing as the basis of all expression. 6. Encourage liveliness and cordiality of manner, to preserve the buoyancy of the music. L. W. M. Boston, September 20th, 1870. CONTENTS. EXERCISES.

THIRD M¥SIC READER: A €axxxu of Staka! Jnsiwribm, WITH SONGS IN TWO AND THREE PARTS, BASED ON THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY. . FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS AKD FAMILIES. BY LUTHER WHITING MASON, SUPERINTENDENT OF MUSIC IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS OF BOSTON. BOSTON: PUBLISHED BY GINN BROTHERS. 1872. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1871, by* LUTHER WHITING MASON, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. Cambridge : Printed by Welch, Bigelow, & Co. TO TEACHERS. To puksue successfully the course of instruction indicated in this, the "Thikd National Music Reader," the pupils must have gone through a course of training equivalent to that contained in the First and Second Music Readers. In the two-part songs, thus far, the harmonies have been extremely limited; so that the pupils have become accustomed to the "natural harmonies' ' of the Major Scale in nine different keys. They are now to consider the harmonic relation of sounds, and are gradually to become conscious of the groundwork of two- and three-part singing, as based upon the Triads of the Major and Minor Scales. Besides the Triads, they are taught the most usual forms of Chords of the Seventh and Ninth* Let it not be forgotten, that the proper training of the ear and voice, and cultivation of musical taste, are the chief objects of musical instruc- tion in common schools. The best means to this end is a good selection of appropriate school-songs, carefully taught. It is recommended that scholars of this grade, as well as those of the lower classes, commit to memory several songs, both the poetry and the music, — and those some of the most difficult, — so that they may be able to give more attention to a tasteful performance. "It is not by singing merely that the taste is improved, but by expressive singing." * A Manual for teachers, containing a full explanation of the Triads and other Chords indicated in this Number, is in course of preparation; also, a method of instruction for higher classes, on the plan of Dr. A. B. Marx's *' Chorus School " IV TO TEACHERS. This book, thou&h complete in itself, is designed to bo used in connection with the Third Series of National Music Charts. The necessary instruction in Intervals and Triads is given to best advantage from the Charts. Let not any one be discouraged by the appearance of the Roman numerals and other signs to indicate the harmonies; neither let the musical scholar undervalue the little that is attempted in this direction.

Flow on, till all the Saviour know, And all obey his will. 94 THIRD NATIONAL MUSIO READER. GERMAN CHORAL. Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings. — Psalms, xvii. 8.

Farewell ! in clearer glory Another sun shines o'er me ; My Jesus' presence cheers the night. 3 In many a golden cluster The starry myriads muster On yonder shining floor; So may I shine immortal, When call'd through death's dim portal To pass, and stand my Lord before. 4 To rest my body hasteth, Aside her garments casteth, Till morn again appear. Ere long earth's bondage breaking, Her mortal coil forsaking, Christ's spotless robe my soul shall wear. 5 Sleep o'er mine eyes is stealing, My drowsy senses sealing ; Shepherd of Israel ! Thy tender mercy send me, And from all harm defend me, Who watchest where thy people dwell. 6 My Lord and Saviour, guide me ; From sin and danger hide me Beneath thy wings of love. If Satan dare molest me, Bid angel-guards assist me With strength and comfort from above. 7 Safe in thy holy keeping, May all my loved ones sleeping Find thee their strength and stay.

OUR WORLD, No. II. ; or, Second Series of Lessons in Geography. By Mary L. Hall. With fine illustrations of the various countries, the inhabitants and their occupations, and two distinct series of Maps, physical and political. This book is intended, if used m eonnection with the First Lessons, to cover the usual course of geographical study. It is based upon the principle that it is more useful to give vivid conceptions of the physical features and political associations of different regions, than to make pupils familiar with long lists of places, and a great array of statistics.
