Excerpt from The Silver Bell: A New Singing Book for Schools, Academies, Select Classes, and the Social Circle, Containing a Choice Selection of the Most Favorite Songs, Duetts, Trios, Quartettes, Hymm-Tunes, Chants, and Pieces for Concerts and Exhibitions, Arranged With Piano-Forte The author, in presenting this volume to the public, desires to mention some of its prominent, features, and the reasons which prompted him to begin the work' of preparation. It is obvious that Vocal Music, as an ao proved branch of common education, is rapidly making its way into the schools and academies of our countrv. Eventually to become one of the educational habits of the mass. The number of schools among us in which music is made one of the regular branches of elementary instruction is already great, and is constantly increasing. We have heard of no case in which with preper training every pupil has not been found capable of acquiring the rudiments of the art, and of interpreting music of ordinary complexity. It has long been supposed that in order to learn to sing, a pupil must be endowed with what is sometimes called a musical ear. That this, however, is an error, is evident from experiments which have been made in Germany, and which are being made in this country. The result is, that in this respect, as in many others, there is a great difference in the natural aptitude of scholars. Still all Who can learn to read, can also learn to sing. The knowledge of music therefore must prevail where there are industrious, earnest and intelligent teachers, and the work will be hastened in proportion to the improvement of teachers and text-books. In arranging the elementary portionbf this book, the author's desire has been to prepare a work, which in its construction, would be theoretic lucid. Useful, and instructive to pupils. Care has been taken to treat the various topics, brie y perhaps. But With ade quate clearness, accompanied by examples, sufficient to elucidate the rules and directions of the text. In the various paragraphs no claim is laid to any new discoveries, but only to the merit of a consistent and correct classification of Musical terms, together with a large number of exercises, arranged in such a progresswe manner as very materially to lessen the labors of both teacher and pupil.
