Education Through Music (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Education Through Music

About one per cent of our population has a formal education beyond the age of fourteen. The musical instruction that is given during this period is for most people all the training that they ever receive in the subject. Hence it is of the utmost importance that the little time given to music should be spent in the most effective way. This requires a consideration not merely of the musical ends to be reached, but of the capacity of the pupil and his musical needs, involving a cultivation of the desire for the beautiful in music, and direction for its gratification under the social conditions in which he lives. Such a broad view of the subject demands that sound principles be followed and that a rational plan of presentation be employed.
