CONCERNING MUSIC
By C. A. DAVIDSON
(Director of Music for Salem School)
demand the plan of this work. Kv-
cry child should learn to read a sec
ond part while somebody else carries
tli$ tune. Whether his voire la hlrti
or low has nothing whatever to do
with his singing a second part, be
cause the voices are changed every
few weeks from one part to the other,
the low notes are not too low and the
high notes are not to hiRh fr any boy
or Kir I of this afre, and besides all,
only about half of each recitation is
dvotcd to two-part work. The oth
er half is Riven to the same kind of
sight reading from blackboard and
book as !n the fourth grade, and
harder Intervals and more difficult
rhythmic Iipurcs are presented.
In the sixth trade, more two-part j
songs lino some three-part arts at
tempted. The reading work follows I
much the same plan as in preceding
grades. One difficulty that bet-t us
here Is the approaching adolescence
which causes the boy's voice to thick
en and begin to settle downward.
.Many of the boys find that they can
sing either In a hlsh or low octave
(In a very limited range) and there
:ire In most buildings a few who are

Inasmuch as everybody is Interest-'intervals worked out on the staff are
ed In the public schools, and is am-'a little broader, such as thirds and
jous to see the young folks have a bet- fourths. In other words, the children
ter chance In the world and climb to Ret a good start in sight reading in
dlzxler heights than their daddies and i.the third and fourth grades,
mothers, a short talk about what we , In the fifth grade, the main prob-
.r. aninr utid Irvine to do in a music-llcm is two part singing. Occasions
al wav in the Salem DUblte schools have rl?n where parents did not un
may not be untimely.
In the first and second grades we
present muric to the ear; in the third
and fourth grades, to the eye, and In
the fifth and sixth grades, with a
quickened ear and eye to begin with.
we develop an elementary sense of
harmony thru two-part and three
part songs.
The ear experience Is absolutely hi-
dispensiblo as a foundation. Music is
not thing to be reasoned out before
it is felt or heard In the mind's ear.
We can all recall numerous eases of
mechanical performers who think of
nothing else than pounding the right
key on the piuno and holding It down
Just so long, and repeating this oper
ation In a perfunctory fashion, ap
parently unconscious of any beauty of
tone or expression that might be put
into the rendition. Such is not to be
wondered at when so many try to
play by "eye" without the fundamen
tal "ear training."
Carrying this idea a llttlu farther,
it is little wonder that the study of
harmony falls so often and so utter
ly to Interest a class when they have
no facility ut thinking music at mak
ing up tunes, or at hunting oot chord
successions. Harmony is the grammur
of music, und It Is of no more use to
the person who does not have music
al Ideas surging about in hi head,
than 1m English grammar to the per
son who has a vocabulary of 000
words and no particular use even for
them. ;
In the first grade the first day of
school approximately 1-3 will be uble
to sing fairly accurately, 1-3 will be
hopeful, and 1-3 apparently without
hope. It is the first grudo teacher's
work to "true up" this little wrigg
ling mass of humanity by the'ena of
the year so that they can learn a lit
tle tune after hearing It a few limes
and can carry It fairly accurately.
The success of this work compares
favorably with the success of the
work In reading, spelling, numbers
and other subjects of the first grade.
1'erhaps only 6 percent or 10 percent
lire troublesome monotones when they
leave the first grade.
In the second grade the same work
Is carried out as in the first, but it
is extended and more songs are learn
ed. We hope to have nil monotones
cleared up. by time the pupils are
ready for the third grade.
In this grade the music books are
Introduced and the technical work of
establishing a feeling of tonality, rend
lng the lines anil spr.rcs of the stuff
with la ur loo or some other mental
syllable, finding the keynote from the
given sharps or flats, keeping the
place und beating time with the fore
finger, Is begun.
In the fourth grade the same rend
ing work Is dune, except that lite
songs are a little more complicated
retarded for one reason or another
and who are decidedly in the low
octave and who arc confused by the;
other voices in the higher octave.
Then again, sixth grade pupils are
approaching a new physchologiral
outlook on life, and this give them
new interests and makes them much
mere sensitive to their environment.
So -e may say that the big problem
!.in this grade Is that of making music
vitally interesting and appealing, es
pecially to the boys. For if the boys
lose interest in music here, they sel
dom regain it in the "th ana Stru
grades and often it is lost forever.. :
