The song contains all the elements of instruction, and those elements should be studied for the sake of interpreting the song. Melody, rhythm, tone-production, enunciation, breath- ing, and interpretation are best studied from living and vital songs, and these should be the source and the basis as well as the object of instruction. The song is the goal. When the goal is reached the race is over. Hence, the con- structive elements that enter into the song should first be studied, the difficult intervals, the uncommon or unexpected either in tune or rhythm, the pronun- ciation of difficult words and their musical setting ; all these things which are proper for drill should be carefully gone over, and then the child may confi- dently and successfully attack the song as a whole, with the reasonable hope of singing it correctly. He thus gains confidence and enthusiasm for additional triimiphs. The first thing needed is for the child to obtain a certain amount of ex- perience in music, and to gain the power to hear accurately, to exactly reproduce tones heard, and to use the singing voice correctly. This comes just as does ths power to talk through imitation. Hence, the first lessons consist of rote songs and of practice in the reproduction of musical tones and of words applied to music. Every music teacher understands that this is the proper procedure, but it has been taken so much as a matter of course that special teachers as well as grade teachers have been obliged to find and supply the needed exercises from every possible source. The first part of this book covers this work so completely that the practical teacher will find everything necessary for this stage of instruo- ' tion. After the child has learned to sing the little rote songs, to match tones with his own voice, and to have a sufficient power of concentration, the great study of the major scale should begin, again through imitation, the teacher singing little scale passages with the names, which the child imitates simply and unconsciously. But there is nothing in any exercise which requires any par- ticular kind of names to be used. Tbe tones may be sung doh, ray, me ; one, two, three ; or loo, loo, loa ,4 INTRODUCTION. For dictation the numerals are iiniversally used, and the response may be as the supervisor prefers, with numerals or syllables, or neither. It will seem easier to sol-fa the exercises, but if that is the constant practice sight reading will always be a long way off, for the real test of thinking in sounds is the ability to apply words directly. Power to do is gained by practice upon new material. Have the courage, therefore, to go forward constantly into new work. A few repetitions sxiffice to make the work merely rote. The imitative power of children is so great that the teacher must guard against its insidious influence by constantly testing the ability of individuals. Begin this in the primary grades and keep it up. Check the leaders on whom the others unconsciously lean. See what the class and individuals can do while the leaders are silent. It is the purpose of the New American Music System to eliminate the su- perfluous. As an instance, the quarter note has been selected (as is the general use in modern music ) as the unit of measurement, and receives one beat. It stands therefore for something constant, and the child is not bothered with the useless practice of giving now a half note, now a quarter, or possibly a whole note one beat. The half note means two beats, the whole note four, and not until he has mastered the great facts of two-part, three-part, four-part and six- part rhythm is he obliged to learn that the eighth note may stand for a beat, and sometimes even a half note. Again all the difficulties of key signatures are deferred through the use of the Key-chord until the young pupil has mastered the great and essential principle in staff notation, namely, to read by relative position on the staff degrees. The Key-chord aids in this, and is an effective substitute for the signature, since, practically with an empty staff, it locates the position of the tones of the scale. This for the singer, is ah that the Key signature acconi- pllshes. After sufficient practice in notation thus applied, with the key note in all the positions found on the staff, Ahe pupil is prepared to study the common Keys as they occur with their proper signatures. The work of the first part of this reader is imitative, and should be given by the instructor in connection with the charts. If the charts are not used the teacher will be obliged to make a thorough and liberal use of exercises trans- ferred to the blackboard. Blackboard work may be almost entirely omitted when the second half of the book is reached, by placing the book in the hands of every pupil. If the pupils do not have the books, the exercises must be copied upon the blackboard. While this introduction does not attempt to analyze the book and elab- orate all its points, a few of them are more definitely stated below : INTKODUCTION. 6 Breathing. Exercises in breathing are of vital importance, but should be of the simple^ chai-acter, and such as will not arouse the child's self-consciousness by calling attention to the mechanical means employed. It is therefore advisable to cultivate the habit of deep and sus- tained breathing as an incident to some simple physical exercises. Such exercises are provided for in this book on pages 18 and 19. No child can sing well who cannot breathe deeply, freely and naturally. Yocal Drill. The great importance of producing and developing the head tones in chil- dren's voices is acknowledged by every expert in voice production. The practice of this must begin at the first lesson, and thereafter constantly and faithfully continue. From the very first exercise and onward this has been constantly in view. Every exercise, every song, every isolated phrase has been designed or chosen with the intentiou of developing the natural and beautiful flute-like tone of the head register. The Study of Bhythm. The child's earliest musical perceptions are manifested In forms of rhythm ; lience the rhythmic element in music is recognized from the first, and exercises of various kinds of a purely rhythmic character are freely interspersed. Training of the Ear. Ear training is the basis of all musical knowledge. Practically the first half of the primer is devoted to imitative work, taking the form of bright, merry little songs, phrases (with and without words), and accented examples, thus approaching the matter from all sides. Training the Eye. By means of Practice Diagrams, constructed ladder-wise, or by a column of tigui-es, the pupils after their general experience with the whole scale make their first analytical acquaintance with related tones commencing with the interval of a second, two tones, and adding, one by one, the remainder of the scale. Practice-Staff. This is a staff without signature, intended to be used In conjunction with the Practice Diagrams for the purpose of transferring the numeral work to the staff proper. The Key-Chord. The plan herein adopted of showing the constituents of the basic chord of music is a pr;ictical compromise, and a valuable introduction to the study of key signatm-es. The Key-Choid has this further great advantage : It shows clearly and distinctly at a glance the location of the four more prominent notes of each key, and compels attention to the siini- larity of location, either on lines or in spaces, of 1, 8, and 5, and the dissimilarity of 8. This in itself is a daily object-lesson of the very first rank. Visible and Oral Dictation. Dictation has ever been one of the principal aids of the teacher. Much and varied material is herein furnished, and a feature is also made of dictation drawn from the songs, thus giving preliminary drill in the matter contained In them. Enunciation. In singing this Is such an Important element that no excuse is needed for its constant use in this book. The study of vowels and vowel quantities, and of consonant enun- ciation, are of the utmost value In singing, and should receive the teacher's most careful attention. Part Singing. An optional alto part has been added to many of the songs. This may serve as an effective aid to the harmony, If the songs are ever used with the piano, or may be sung occasionally by the teacher after the song has been thoroughly mastered by the pupils, thus familiarizing the pupil with music In parts, a more difficult form than the unisonic, teach- ing him to concentrate his attention, to tune bis voice, and to blend his tones with those of an- other part. 6 INTRODUCTION. Special Songs have been provided for every month of the school year, as weL as for vari. 0U8 occasious. An interesting melody correct in form, with words not beyond the child's com- prehension, has been the standard set. The author wishes especially to express his thanks to the many friends and co-laborers who have aided him with advice, suggestion and criticism in the mak- ing of this book. The essential principles of The American Music System are retained, and the changes are such as will render the system more elastic and fitted to meet the needs of all classes of schools, and the varied requirements of supervisors and directors of music instruction throughout the country. I. FIRST STEPS. By the use of rote songs, children gain the ability to concentrate their attention, to listen thoughtfully, and to tune and unite their voices on tones of given pitch. These imitative processes are the first steps in learning to sing. The following songs and exercises are mate- rial for imitation, to e-ducate the ear, train the voice within the proper compass, and to arouse the interest by pleasant words, tunes and rhythms. Vowels and syllables should be sung on such pitches as to bring out the soft quality of the head voice, and constant thought and effort should be given by the teacher to secure this beautiful voice quality. Harsh singing should not be tolerated in the school room. Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 10 are intended to show the class teacher how to present a rote song, taking for this such subsequent songs as please. 1. Come with He. Pupils sing line by line after the teacher. The whole is then sung without repeats. ^ESE^EEi 4=i m f: it -<5> Come with me, We shall see Pret - ty pus - sy climb the tree 2. The Daisy. fea i 7=i V- t=p The dai-sy is a pret-ty thing, She always comes to us in spring. 3. The Rain. First sing the song as a whole, then let the pupils take up the text line by line and the music phrase by phrase imtil both are memorized. It is a good practice to let pupils sometimes recite'the text before the song is sung. The Comma (9) indicates the place where the breath should be taken.

Note. A chromatic pitch instrument is indispensible. The pitch must be accurately given for all .songs and exercises. The teacher must conduct all the singing, not only in songs but in exercises as well, using appropriate gestures indicating when to begin, and marking the onward movement together with the expression. 7 4.

Vowels should be formed with the upper and lower teeth widely enough separated to in- troduce two fingers. See Fig. I. While the shape of the opening made by the lips will vary, the teeth should be kept well apart for all vowel soiinds. This assists materially in the pro- duction of a mellow and pleasing quality, and tends to prevent objectionable thinness of tone in such vowels as 6 and 5. See Figs. 11., a; Fig. III., a; Fig. IV., 6; Fig. V., 6; Fig. VI., oo. Fig. I. Fig. II. a. Fig. III. a. Fig. IV. e. Fig. V. 5. Fig. VI. oo. 7. The Vowel Prolonged. Sing each of these exercises in one breath. The change from one vowel to another in the second measure of exercises 4 and 5 must be made without interrupting the tone.

These are to be sung by the teacher for imitation by a pupil or pupils. Individual Singing : The real progress of the work can be judged ouly by the ability of individuals. Hence the endeavor to have each child sing alone should be made from the outset. As often as possible let each rise and sing some of these imitative groups, or a line or a stanza of a song, the scale, etc. This practice should be continued with several different pupils every day.

In children's singing, breathing exercises, although important, must be of the simplest character. The attention of the child should not be directed to the mechanism of breathing, but he should do something that involves the act in a perfectly natural manner. Each lesson may begin with .some variety of the following exercises: A. The Breath of Imagination. 1. The smelling breath. Breathe as if smelling a beautiful flower ; hold the breath, retaining the perfume; let it go with a sigh. Smell again, letting the breath go slowly. Change the (imaginary) flower at each lesson. The object may be anything that has a pleasant odor, an orange, for instance. Let the children play at holding it, raising it to the nose and inhaling the perfume. The breath will be drawn in with a slightly audible sound, but not with a sniff. During singing, however, breathing must be noiseless, the breath being taken through the slightly opened mouth as well as through the nose. 2. The breath (a) of sympathy, (b) of love, (c) of sorrow, (d) of joy, (e) of anger, { f) of defiance, (g) of politeness, etc. The ingenious teacher will be able to enlarge upon these ideas, giving the children's im- agination and fancy full play. B. The Measured Breath. At a given signal the children should rise noiselessly, stand in straight lines, weight on the balls of the feet, heads up, chests high and forward, arms at sides. Fig. VII. The teacher should stand before the class and give the exercise for imitation by the pupils, raising Fig. VII. Fig. VIM the left arm when pupils raise the right, etc. Pupils will raise ( 1 ) the right arm (while the teacher counts 1, 2) to a horizontal position from the shoulder, Fig. VIII., inhaling the breath with slightly audible sound through the nose ; retain breath one, two or three counts ; exhale through three counts while lowering the arm slowly. ( 2 ) In the same way inhale raising the left arm, Fig. IX. (3) Repeat, raising both arms, Fig. X. Fig. IX. Fig. X. :rz3J^ Rxhalation may be varied as follows : ( 1) Prolong through several counts or beats the consonant sound either of sh, s, f, th, 2k, I /., m, n, or 1. Other vocal consonants may be used or combinations of them, as f-th-f, sh. 8 sh, taking a diffea?it one every day. The teacher mast give the model for these. (2) Prolong on c {third space) or d {fourth line) in the light, flute-like tones of th head voice, the sounds of the vowels 6, oo, a, a, ee, separately, or in combination, as oo-a, 0-ce, oo-5-a, e-a-a-6oo, tlie pupils watching the teacher's mouth for the vowel changes. 30.

When the pupils have learned the numbers from 1 to 8, and reversely from 8 to 1, the teacher should explain that these are the number-names of the scale tones, and that do, re, mi, etc., are called singing names ; that when they are told to sing any number, or when it is pointed, they are to sing that tone, using either the singing names, or the numbers, or lo, loo or some other neutral syllable. The numbers may then be placed in a vertical column (Fig. XL) on the blackboard, or upon the steps of a ladder ( Fig. XIa.), as below. Practice-Diagram . Fig. XI. Practice-Diagram .

The numbers in Fig. XI. or Fig. XIa. may be sung with the sol-fa syllables, neutral syllables (lo, loo, etc.), or with the vowels. Hand Signs. The finger or fingers (Fig. XII.) may also be used to indicate the tone to be sung. Later the hand staff may be employed. lo d' 81 lo t -7- lo 1 6 lo S 5 lo f 4 lo m 3 lo r 2 lo d 1 a 5 oo a 00 a 5 00 a 00 a 00 a 5 oo a 5 00 a 00 Fig. XII. When the pupils have learned to sing the scale accurately, they must continue to practice It with lo, loo, no, koo, 0, oo, a, a, etc., as well as with the singing names, using the latter as sparingly ks possible. 28 50.

The scale relation of musical sounds is the chief problem to be taken up in every lesson. It should be presented in various forms in order to retain the interest of the pupils auJ to aid them in the mastery of the subject. Dictation (oral and visible) and ear training are very important exei'cises and should be part of the daily practice. In oral dictation a group of numbers are given, as 8 7 8, to which the pupil sings lo, loo, or some other neutral syllable. Through ear training the pupil recognizes tones from hearing and names them. Thus, a small group of tones, as 1 2 1, is sung with lo or a and the pupil ( a ) sings the same with sol- fa names, (b) gives the numbers, or (c) writes them down. Ear training should always be combined with dictation and all groups dictated should also be recognized from hearing. For these exercises always use related tones, not isolated ones. Long groups may be subdivided into shorter ones as desired. 111. 121. 123. 112. 122. 1223. 1232. 123. 345. 543. 321. 12123. l = ff 8 = c'. 878. 876. 8766 1123. 1233. 1234 8876. 8776. 8765. 5678. 87876. 88765. 54o The Little Dustman.

VI. THE STAFF. The Staff I j is a device for the representation of scale tones. Each line and space is called a degree, and, taken consecutively, they represent the tones of the scale taken in regular order. The scale may begin on any degree, reckoning from 1 upwards, or 8 down- wards. Notes are characters that show the relative length of sounds, and, placed upon the staff degrees, they also denote the pitch of the tones. 114. From Numerals to the Staff. 1. Place the following groups of numerals upon the blacklward and let the pupils sing the same. l^e. 1111 1121 1221 1211 1233 2. Draw a staff immediately beneath them, thus': 1 = . 1111 1121 1221 1211 1233 3. Sing the exercise slowly and, as each tone is sung, write its musical sjrmbol upon the staff, using the quarter-note, thus: l=e. 111111211221 ^^^^^^^'^- 4. Repeat the exercise group by group, pointing to the notes. 5. Erase the numerals and smg from the notes. 115. Exercises.

By assuming the position of 1 we may sing from the practice-staff by simply pointing to the degrees, the pointer taking the place of notes. The Key-Signature indicates which of the fixed pitches {abode f g ) is taken for 1. Key-signatures are difficult for a child to remember, and since the real problem is to read with the scale now in one position on the staff and now in another, the study of signatures may well be postponed until this first problem or principle has been mastered, provided the location of 1, etc., is fixed. This may be done by writing a figure under the first note, or by a device, a Key-Chord, which locates 1, 3, 5, and 8 at the beginning of the staff, thus : -. This shows at a glance the position of the tones in the great basic chord of music, viz., the Tonic Chord. Note. All examples having a Key-Chord are to be sung from the notes. Examples with the usual Key-Signature are to be sung by rote. In all exercises with the Key-Chord the pitch is assumed to be the same as with the G-clef . 118. Exercises for Practice-Diagram and Practice-Staff. If no charts are available, enlarged copies of Figs. XXII. and XXIII. should be placed upon the blackboard. These and similar exercises are first to be pointed upon the Practice- Diagram and then repeated, group by group, upon the Practice-Staff. Before pointing them upon the latter, the proper Key-Chord / 5 6 \ should be placed at the beginning of each staff as a key -signature. \ 1 / Any of the following neutral syllables, loo, too, doo, koo, pro, t5, ah, pa, law, pra, ta. etc. , may be freely used for vocalizing. ,fi'- jll. 121. 1121. 123321. 12344321. 56o6778. 87678. 8765678. 818. 876545678. 123321. 5654^^21. 123345. 5443221. 12345 12323456. r?\ ^J\ /!N /I\ 6565434321. 1234554321. 87654321. /r\ /TV TV 5434321. 12345. 12345678. 1234556. 67 119.

The pupils learn the very simple song " Birds are singing," strongly enphasizing the loud and soft accents. Judicious questioning should draw out from the pupils, expressed in their own language, the fact that certain syllables were loud, others soft, and that these loud and soft tones came in regular order. 2. The song should then be copied upon the blackboard with key-chord, accents, words and the measure or rhythmic words loud, soft, but without bars, thus : i ^1 Birds loud are soft sing loud soft bells loud are soft ring loud ing. soft 3. After it is sung from the blackboard, explain, that in order to clearly show the position of the loud and soft accents, a vertical line called a bar here the bars are to be drawn is drawn through the staff dividing the notes into grouns or sections of loud and soft tones. The pupils then observe that all notes immediately after the verciutu lijie or bar are loud tones, and all notes immediately before the line are soft tones. The class will conclude that the use of the double bar is to mark the end of the song or the exercise. From bar to bar is a measure. The double bar marks the end. 136.

The pupils should recognize that the first note was soft ( unaccented ), the next loud followed by two soft, etc. The pupils should then apply the measure-words and in so doing they will note that the song began upon the unaccented part of the measure. In these and similar examples the fact should be recalled that the loud accent comes directly after the bar. Sif^i "^^d-- ^ --X m^ We'll jump, and run.
