The High School Music Reader: For the Use of Mixed and Boys' High Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The High School Music Reader: For the Use of Mixed and Boys' High Schools

It is perhaps unnecessary to state that these exercises should be practised by note, and with as little aid as possible from the piano; giving due attention to position of body, evenness of tone, and clearness of enunciation. The Solfeggios may be transposed whenever it becomes necessary, although most of them can be sung by pupils of a very small compass of voice.

As in many High Schools there is often a scarcity of tenors, their part may, in most cases, be sung by altos (boys).

The Choruses have been selected for their musical worth, and are well adapted to the development of a sound musical taste.

Asking for the book a kind reception from his fellow-teachers, the author submits it to their friendly judgment.
