Having determined the key and the time of the respective exercise, sound the key-note, and have the parts sing separately until the notes are well learned. Then put them together thus: sound the key-note. And have each part sound its first note, thus getting the chord; then count a measure or two slowly, and have the exercise sung. Should any part lack independence, allow it to predominate by caus ing the other parts to Sing softly. So that the weak part may hear itself, until independence (the abil ity to sing a part against the tones of the other parts) is fully attained.
