Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Music Reader, Number One
This volume reviews brie?y the work of volume one and proceeds to the mastery of more advanced expressions.
The general plan of the teaching and the practice is the same as before; the original divisions of the subject being retained.
Each chromatic and rhythmic expression is fully explained as pre sented, and the songs and part exercises are specially adapted to the previous teaching.
The songs which appear at the close of the volume are for the most part common to the series, and are intended for use on occasions when all grades may be expected to take part. Some of these songs will necessarily be sung by rote in this grade.
Each volume of this course of study from the second onward presents certain fundamental features as review; the intention being to enable a teacher who has not used the books from the beginning to become some what familiar with the plan of the work as a whole. This will explain the simplicity of certain exercises in the advanced volumes. The fact has been constantly in mind, that in taking up a new difficulty no form of pre scutation can be too simple.
