Excerpt from Piano-Forte Class Book: Containing Practical, Rudimental Lessons for Students of Music, and Especially Calculated to Be of Service to Those Who Are Preparing to TeachIn the matter of musical knowledge, this book claims to impart nothing new, - to say nothing which has not been said before by some one, at some time, that, at the present day, would indeed, be a difficult matter. Neither is this work intended to take the place of a Piano Instruction Book, nor to supply the place of a teacher. No book can do that. The author has simply gathered together and arranged, in systematic form, those first principles of the Theory and Technique of music which are absolutely necessary to the intelligent progress of a pupil through his first few years of study, and endeavored to set this knowledge before him in a manner which, by its simplicity, will attract and, perhaps, lead him on to an interest in the deeper study of Harmony, and, event ually, to a thorough Musical Education.The greater portion of the work has been used in manuscript by the author for ten years but, from constant additions, it has become so troublesome for classes to copy, and the demand for it has grown so great among those of the writer's pupils who are teaching, as to make its publication a necessity.Teachers who use this work in schools must have blackboards with staffs upon them, and they should hold their recitations either weekly or semi-weekly. Teachers of village classes can usually obtain the use of some school room, or can have a blackboard in their lesson room, and meet their classes weekly. Very small classes can meet in any room, with music paper or music slates, upon which to write the exercises. Classes of very young children may commence at chapter second, and omit, until they are older, the chapters on the Metronome and Movements, and small por tions of other chapters, according to the judgment of the teacher.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
