The music material comprises the best that could be found in the. Libraries Of America and Europe, together with a large number Of original songs, written by many Of the foremost living composers, Whose interest and cooperation were secured through personal interviews; and characteristic folk songs Obtained from sources hitherto unavailable. All the music material has been subjected to care ful critical study both in regard to its musical worth and to its adaptability to school use. Equal care has been exercised in the selection of the words Of the songs. Three periods of development in the child's school life are recognized by present -day educators: the Sensory Period, the Associative Period, and the Adolescent Period. Books two and Three are designed to cover the Work Of the Associative Period. This period 1s essentially the time for drill and the time for developing sight reading power. Basing the music study on the tonal and rhythmic concepts gained in the Sensory Period, the fundamental musical problems are presented in a-logical sequence for formal drill. In developing these problems four steps-are involved: (1) A review Of a, familiar song. Which embodies the problem. (2) A clear statement Of the problem to the pupils. (3) Thorough drill on the problem, isolated from the context. (4) Application Of the mastered problem ln reading new songs in which it occurs. Parts One, two, and Three Of Book Three form, with Book Two, a consecutive series of lessons Which, beginning with the simplest tonal and rhythmic relations, progresses to the study Of all the musical problems essential to the mastery of music suitable for school use. Part Four of Book Three contains patriotic and devotional songs for general use. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
