 PREFACE.

The Tonic Sol-Fa Music Course is prepared especially for the use of Schools.
The exercises are carefully graded according to the steps of The Tonic Sol-Fa
Method.
Book I. contains exercises in the First and Second Steps. The First Step develops
the first, and fifth tones of the Scale, making together the Tonic Chord, the
third,
basis of harmony and also elementary studies in time. The Second Step introduces
;

the second and seventh tones of the scale, making, with the fifth, the Chord of the
Dominant. The time studies in this step, while still of an elementary character, are
carried farther than in the First Step.

In the preparation of this course, the convenience of both teacher and scholars
has been kept in view. For the latter, the instruction is embodied as far as possible
in pleasant songs. To assist the Manual has been prepared, containing
teacher, a
directions, how to present the musical exercises to the children. A number of
rote-songs are provided with the Manual, which will be found useful for the lower
primary grade. All the music is original, unless otherwise stated, and has been
composed for this Course.

Thanks are due to Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., James R. Osgood & Co., and
Porter & Coates, for their courtesy in allowing their poems to be set to music for
the present work.

rhythm. It also contains selections of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will pre-

musical classics. Price, 15 cts.

lirst staff
that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, as the pupils acquire a thorough knowledge

;

an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the same
time additional practice.
