TECHNIC AND ART OF SINGING

introduction
The beginnmg of sight singing is like the beginning of language reading; one firbt leams something of the language, then learns to read it; and one must become acquainted with musical phraseology in order to sing melodic passages from symbols.
In this regard music reading for singing differs essentially from the mentality involved ir
reading instrumental music.

all

adults and the majority of children have an acquaintance with

forms before taking up the study of music reading. This acquaintance they have acquired a they have gained a knowledge of their language, through the sense of hearing unconsciously Church music or popular song in some of its phases are familiar experiences of every exerted.

But

this

is

at first exclusively associated with the sense of hearing.

the time comes to learn to read music, another sense must be trained to bring to the mind a Then it is found that the mind turns so persistently to the suggestions correct concept of music.

with concentration and and independently in music. At Reading music is last, however, one learns **to hear with the eye," and the goal is attained. no longer guess work, depending upon the ear, a precarious process giving occasion to the unconsciously humorous statement, some days I can read music quite well Still there is much training to be done to the ear which must be taught to classify and associate tones systematically. The sense of One must also learn to ''see with the ear." key note, tonality or key-relationship, and intervals, must be established through the hearing. Generally the beginner has a fair sense of rhythm at the outset; but unless this be specially cultivated it is sure to become obscured by being made secondary to other considerations. While intent upon thinking out pitch problems, for instance, the learner usually neglects rhythm

To meet
itemized thus
:

the requirements of pupils in the department of music reading the cx)urse

may

be

1. To lay a strong foundation of tonality elementary tone relationship through the tonic chord and the major scale. 2. To become acquainted with staff, notes, rests, etc. the symbols of music. 3. To associate pitches with their representation. To train the thought through the eye. 4. To inculcate an acute sense of rhythmic accent. 5. To become familiarly acquainted with scales, modes and intervals in wider relationship. 6. To become familiarly acquainted with all standard rhythmic forms and their repre-

sentation.

knowledge so as to include harmonies and modulation. memory, concentration, indeed all the general mental attri butes which other education aims at. It must be borne in mind how new and strange to a beginner are the symbols for notation and the musical concepts they stand for, ascending and descending pitch, longer and shorter sounds, accents, silences, etc., how confusing it is at first to carry in the unaccustomed mind simultaneous ideas of pitch, rhythm and performance. This work aims to present all these ideas in so simple a form that the learner may make the beginning with the least possible confusion of thought, and, before entering upon even the common complications of the science may become accustomed, under favorable conditions, to the association of ideas upon which successful music reading must depend. Consciously or unconsciously, every one who reads vocal music well forms certain habits and acquires mastery of certain things, items which are beguju upon in this work and will be fuUy defined and developed in the others of this series. These items may be grouped under seven headings

may

There are three departments in the study of singing which from the outset should receive and pupil these are 1. Music reading and musicianship. 2. Voice culture. 3. Execution and style. In some cases department three, will for a time receive attention in only the most rudimentary aspects, (breathing at right places, taking a tone without sliding to it, etc. ); but the plan proposed in " Technic and Art of Singing," is to start adult pupils at once with text books in two departments, music reading, (Methodical Sight Singing), and voice culture and the principles of execution ( Introductory Lessons), and as soon ap practicable thereafter to introduce additional studies in the third department (Twenty-Four Elementary Song Studies). Good singing is the co-operation of many habits in these three departments, the whole being touched with the glow of imagination and sentiment. The best educational work in the field of singing will see that the required habits of mind and body are started as early as practicable and are patiently supervised until established.

their spaces).

tbis, many months of daily practice may be required. During the practice of these phrases the Lessons in the same key may be begun upon. Directions:- In individual practice, each phrase may be studied according to the following suggestions. Repeat as much as may be necessary. 1. Play it upon the instrument. 2. Sing it with syllables (dob ray etc.) playing loudly at the same time and listening care fully to see that each tone is correct in pitch. 3. Sing it with syllables, without the instrument. 4. Sing it without the instrument,usinglahlah lah(orloo loo loo) instead of dob, ray etc. 5. Sing it from memory, pointing on the fingers the position of the notes on the staft*. Further practice may be had to advantage by singing the phrase with accent upon the second note instead of upon the first.

As in the study of a foreign language it is well to learn phrases, stories and dialogues by ear before their construction and grammar are fully mastered, so in music-reading, progress is made by singing songs even if they must be learned by rote. Melodic phraseology must be made very familiar- this familiarity is acquired by both ex ercises and songs in the
sation or recitation from

same way as

in

language study in which bothgrammer andconver

memory

are used.

Let the pupil in music-reading sing much, sometimes giving principal thought to key. scale, beat etc., and sometimes to melody, tone, and taste-

same manner as

For the latter purpose songs are necessary. The songs given in this work may be read in the the lessons; but when learned they should be sung with the thought of musical effect uppermost,- exact rhythm, clear enunciation, free, unforced tone, with breath at proper places, &c. (See Introductory Lessons, Op. 22.)
