Excerpt from Progressive Music Lessons: A Course of Instruction Prepared for the Use of Public SchoolsThe author believes that, while the general features of the former edition of this book were of the right character, its usefulness will be increased, by the addition of new exercises and songs. Such are therefore added, the wisdom of which will be proved by their use.Important To The Teacher.Fellow-Teachers: We are engaged in the greatest of all works - the training of the opening minds and hearts of the little ones, so that they may do better service in the battle of life. To be good soldiers, therefore, requires not only the development of the physical faculties, but also the culture of the head and heart.The natural love in the young child for variety and change must be met, to a certain extent, if we could secure his attention and interest - without which very little, if any, progress can be made. To this end Music may be so presented as to render very efficient service in the work of education, affording, as it does, a means of pleasure and profit, the value of which is beyond measure. You may say that you believe and know this, but that you are not a teacher of music, and, therefore, cannot avail yourself of its advantages in your school. To this, I answer that my experience has taught me a lesson which I hope may be of service to you - which is, that teachers who had no knowledge of the rudiments of music have given a little attention to it as presented in this simple manner, and have taught it with a great deal of satisfaction to their patrons, their pupils and themselves - not so much because they have done their work so well, as because of their having exceeded their own expectations, and also because of a power to interest and instruct their pupils which they did not before possess.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
