Description
Excerpt from Ear Training for Teacher and Pupil
The aim of this work is to teach the pupil to think in tones and to so train the ear and the feeling that even the tone-deaf may learn to sing, name, write and play what they hear to harmonize melodies at sight, to improvise accompaniments, and to recognize and appreciate not only'' the melodic effects of music, but the harmonic and rhythmic as well. The voice cannot express what is not felt, and an idiot is the best proof of the fact that skill of hand does not reside in the hand alone, but in the mind.
Discriminative hearing is indispensable to a musical education, and must precede or accompany all lines of study, that the lessons shall not be like those of a shop or manufactory, - a training of muscle only.
