Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What We Hear in Music: A Laboratory Course of Study in Music History and Appreciation for Four Years of High School, Academy, College, Music Club or Home Study
The study of high school music must be arranged to attract, hold and educate every boy and girl, regardless of whether they can sing or not, and should furnish opportunity, material and instruction that will enable them to become, not professional musicians, but music lovers and appreciative, intelligent listeners, knowing the world's music just as they know its history, prose, poetry and art.
Heretofore, the ideals of high school pupils in music have been virtually limited to the music they themselves could produce, thus restricting their observation to a very narrow field.
Music, when properly taught, stands for as much mental develop ment and general culture as any other subject in the curriculum and should receive the same credits toward graduation from the local school, and as entrance requirements in the colleges and universities.
