These
little

the Teacher

five-note pieces, for piano four-hands, are arranged so that the pupil can

play either part.

They form a

suitable course of sight reading in the first grades.

Those

written in an easy key, and repeated in another, sometimes

more

difficult,

are intended to

accustom the child's ear to distinguish changes of tone-color, besides affording a desirable readjustment of the hand position. When the fingers have become used to a particular fivenote compass, they learn to find the intervals more readily, and are soon able to play without the stuttering and halting which destroys the sense of rhythmic continuity, and kills musical
understanding.

My affection
of love to arrange
If

for the little

German

folk-songs, included in this collection,

made

it

a labor

them so that both

treble

and bass parts could be read with equal

facility.

the children enjoy the reading lesson,

my

aim

will

be accomplished.

SUSAN SCHMITT

Subdue the Bass! When you have

the noisy bass notes, don't thunder!!!

boy once played so loud, That the thunder up in a thunder cloud Said, "Since I can't be heard, why, then,

never, never thunder again."
