A student who takes every opportunity given to her during her year of
training will not only learn how to organize the general musical life of
a school, through the medium of ear-training and song classes, recitals,
music clubs, &c., but will be ready and proud to show initiative in
other directions.
We cannot do without the visions of our artists, and a country or a
school, is the poorer when full use is not made of the driving force of
artistic inspiration.
CHAPTER II
THE ORGANIZATION OF MUSICAL WORK IN SCHOOLS
The musical work in a school falls roughly into four divisions:
1. Ear-training, leading on in later stages to harmony, counterpoint,
&c.
2. Voice production and songs.
3. Instrumental work.
4. Concerts, music clubs, &c.
To take these in order:
1. _Ear-training._
When the necessity for this work has been realized the next step is to
consider how the time can be found for it in the school curriculum.
Those who have seen some of the results in schools which have taken the
work for some years are sometimes inclined to think that a large
expenditure of time has been involved.
