Second Rd. 17 The Motive (]"]]""]) The purpose of these exercises is to teach the motive formed by a long tone fol- lowed by two short ones in the same measure. Each long tone is shown by the tie ( ^"3 ) to contain the value of two short tones. Sing the long tone so that the full value is felt. See that the beating or marking the meter is carefully observed by each individual. 24 Do fa - a - o - do. HOBBY HORSE. With animation. German Folksong. 1. Hop, hop, hop! Nim-ble as a top.

Study of Rests and Syncopation. 125 Note that Study 246 is to be sung in a smooth, simple manner. The rests indicate that the tones are to be short and detached, not jerky and over-accented. Study 247 introduces syncopation. All syncopations are made easy by regarding the syncopated tone as a combination of two shorter ones. Note that the tied eighth notes are equivalent to a quarter note. First sing the eighths separately, then join them. 245^ ^ 246 i Do - o - i - ti do NORWEGIAN MELODY.
