Description
Excerpt from The Teacher''s Guide to Mrs. Curwen''s Pianoforte Method (the Child Pianist): Being a Practical Course of the Elements of Music
I omitted all instructions from the Child''s book, for the simple reason that even the youngest pupils will lose a little of the requisite veneration for their teacher when they know that the instruction given in the lesson comes just out of the book, whereas the person who can teach them out of his own head is felt to have a vast fund of knowledge which commands respect and gives weight to his words.
But the young workman must know how to handle his tools; and the exercises of the Child Pianist would not have been helpful if used at haphazard. I therefore embodied in the Guide the directions for their use.
