To provide, in the earliest stages of the child’s piano study, material of permanent musical value which shail serve as a basis for the development of his taste. With the exception of a few preliminary exercises, all the pieces in the Series are either folk-tunes that have been sung by gen- erations of children, or classics that should be part of every child's musical experience. ‘We believe that the child can be interested very early in his musical career in different styles of composition, so we have used folk-tunes of many nations, modal tunes, chorales, etc., including, from the beginning, pieces of irregular metrical structure, ive., not confined to the usual two- and four-measure phrase-lengths. ‘Music of this character cannot be heard too often, and we feel sure that the teacher as well as the pupil will appreciate the absence of original “teaching pieces.” (2) To provide a plentiful sefection of pieces of real musical interest so carefully graded, both musically and technically, that the child is stimulated but not overtaxed. ‘The pieces are printed only in the more common major and minor keys, but the child should be taught to transpose the pieces into all keys. This insures a familiarity with the keyboard and a sense of tone-relationship that is invaluable, The four books of Duets are graded so as to be used in con- junction with the four books of Soloe—although cach st i complete in itself. ‘The necessary foundation for the artistic playing of any in- strument is a musical ear. Pianoforte-playing in itself cannot, by any means, be relied upon to furnish this, as the attention of the child is necessarily focused upom the overcoming of technical difficulties. Therefore, it is recommended that the child be given a large ex- perience of music before he begins the study of an instrument. Just as language is learned first by hearing and then by speaking and reading, so music should be learned by experiencing it before learn- ing to read or to perform on an instrument. Singing is the natural mode of musical expression and learning to sing a large number of good songs “by ear” will greatly broaden the child’s musical horizon, When he thus has had actual experience of music, he will be more interested in learning to read and to play. Thanks are due to Mr. Thomas Whitney Surette for suggesting the writing of this set of books.
