SERIES OF EXERCISES AND SONGS IN THE TONIC SOL-FA METHOD, PROGRESSIVELY ARRANGED IN STEPS; WITH A CORRESPONDING SUPPLEMENTAL COURSE IN THE STAFF NOTATION. BOOK I. BY DANIEL BATCHELLOE AND THOMAS CHARMBURY. BOSTON: OLIVER DITSON COMPANY. NEW YORK: CHICAGO: PHILA: BOSTON: C. H. Ditson & Co. Lyon & Healy. J. E. Ditson & Co. JoHn C. Haynes & Co. PREFACE. The Tonic Sol-Fa Music Course is prepared especially for the use of Schools. The exercises are carefully graded according to the steps of The Tonic Sol-Fa Method. Book I. contains exercises in the First and Second Steps. The First Step develops the first, third, and fifth tones of the Scale, making together the Tonic Chord, the basis of harmony ; and also elementary studies in time. The Second Step introduces the second and seventh tones of the scale, making, with the fifth, the Chord of the Dominant. The time studies in this step, while still of an elementary character, are carried farther than in the First Step. In the preparation of this course, the convenience of both teacher and scholars has been kept in view. For the latter, the instruction is embodied as far as possible in pleasant songs. To assist the teacher, a Manual has been prepared, containing directions, how to present the musical exercises to the children. A number of rote-songs are provided with the Manual, which will be found useful for the lower primary grade. All the music is original, unless otherwise stated, and has been composed for this Course. Thanks are due to Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., James R. Osgood & Co., and Porter & Coates, for their courtesy in allowing their poems to be set to music for the present work. Copyright, 1884, by F. H.

By DANIEL BATCHELLOR and THOMAS CHARMBURY. The course consists of four books in the Tonic Sol-fa notation, a supplemental course in the Staff notation, a manual for teachers, and modulators for class use. IN THE SOL-FA NOTATION. BOOK I. contains studies and songs in the first and second steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method, and they are here treated more fully than in any previous work. Price, 15 cts. ROOK 11. teaches the third step. The development of the sub-dominant chord completes the diatonic scale, and new difficulties of rhythm are introduced. The exercises and songs are suited to the highest primary and lower grammar schools. Price, 15 cts. BOOK III. contains exercises. and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of transi- tion (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. The rythmic exer- cises are designed mainly to illustrate syncopation, the nature of #hich is explained in the Manual. There are several selections from standard composers. Price, 15 cts. BOOK IV. takes up the fifth step of the method, comprising minor music, with difficult forms of rhythm. It also contains selections of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will pre- pare the pupils to sing advanced music from sight, as well as to have an intelligent appreciation of the musical classics. Price, 15 cts. THE MANUAL will enable the regular teacher to teach the method as intelligently as any other study. The notation, mental effects, hand signs, etc., are explained, and hints given on the formation of correct habits of singing. A part on rote singing is followed by thirty-six rote songs. Then follows notes on the five steps, giving all necessary aid in teaching. Limp cloth binding ; price, 45 cts. THE STEP MODULATOR comprises modulators for the first, second, and third steps, nicely printed on heavy, durable paper. Size, 30 by 54 inches ; price, 25 cts. THE TONIC SOL-FA MODULATOR covers the first six steps of the method, but is best adapted :o the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Printed on cambric, 18 by 45 inches ; price, 43 cts. SUPPLEMENTS IN THE STAFF NOTATION. The lirst staff supplement may be taken up after or during the use of Book II. It will be found that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, as the pupils acquire a thorough knowledge of music itself by means of the simpler notation of the Sol-fa books ; the supplements simply require an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the same time additional practice. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOKS I. AND II. gives the first, second, and third steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK III. covers the fourth step. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK IV. contains the fifth step. Price, 1 5 cts. BOUQUET OF SONG. EDITED BY DANIEL BATCHELLOR, Graduate of the Tonic Sol-fa College of London. A graduated course of singing in the Tonic Sol fa notation for the use of classes, beginning with the first step and extending into the sixth step. Price, 25 cts. OLIVER DITSON COMPANY, Boston.

BOSTON: OLIVER DITSON COMPANY. NEW York: Chicago: boston: phila: C. H. Ditson & Co. Lyon & Healy. Jolin C. Haynes & Co. J. E. Ditson & Co* PEEFAOE. The Tonic Sol-fa Music Course is prepared especially for the use of Schools. The exercises are carefully graded according to the steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method. Book II. contains exercises and songs in the Third Step. It introduces the fourth and sixth tones of the Scale, making with the Key-tone the Chord of the Subdominant. This completes the Diatonic Scale, and the exercises in melody become more varied and advanced in character. A number of Rounds are introduced, and these, with the Tuning Exercises, will prepare the way for singing the songs in two and three parts. The studies in Rhythm, which are more complex than in Book I., are suited to the capacity of the children in the Grammar Schools. The ''Elementary Rhythms" are included in this book, as they furnish good practice, and are needed for the first two examinations of the Tonic Sol-Fa College. In the preparation of this Course, the convenience of both teacher and scholars has been kept in view. For the latter, the instruction is embodied as far as possible in tuneful exercises and pleasant songs. To assist the teacher, a Manual has been pre- pared, containing directions how to present the musical exercises to the children. The music is for the most part original, and has been composed for this course.

FOR PUPILS PREPARING FOR THE JUNIOR SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY CERTIFICATES These Rhythms must be done at the rate indicated by the metronome mark. The pupil must laa or taatai one complete measure and any portion of a measure which is required, as an introduction to the exercise, — the exercise itself being taken up without pause or slackening of speed, at the riglit moment. The Rhythm may often be learned slower than marked ; and, when familiar, the pupils will take pleasure in largely increasing the speed. TAA-TAI. 1. Key F. M. 100. * Bugle call, "Ya\\ in."

By DANIEL BATCHELLOR and THOMAS CHARMBURY. The course consists of four books in the Tonic Sol-fsv notation, a supplemental course in the Staff notation, a manual for teachers, and modulators for class, use. IN THE SOL-FA NOTATION. BOOK I. contains studies and songs in the first and second steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method, a-nd they are here treated more fully than in any previous work. Price, 15 cts. BOOK II. teaches the third step. The development of the sub-dominant chord completes the diatonic scale, and new difficulties of rhythm are introduced. The exercises and songs are suited to the highest primary and lower grammar schools. Price, 15 cts. BOOK III. contains exercises and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of transi- tion (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. The rvthmic exer- cises are designed mainly to illustrate syncopation, the nature of which is explained in the Manual. There are several selections from standard composers. Price, 15 cts. BOOK IV. takes up the fifth step of the method, comj^rising minor music, with difficult forms of rhythm. It also contains selections of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will pre- pare the pupils to sing advanced music from sight, as well as to have an intelligent appreciation of the musical classics. Price, 15 cts. THE MANUAL will enable the regular teacher xo teach the method as intelligently as any other study. The notation, mental effects, hand signs, etc., are explained, and hints given on the formation of correct habits of singing. A part on rote singing is followed by thirty-six rote songs. Then follows notes on the five steps, giving all necessary aid in teaching. Limp cloth binding; price, 45 cts. THE STEP MODULATOR comprises modulators for the first, econd, and third steps, nicely printed on heavy, durable paper. Size, 30 by 54 inches : price, 25 cts. THE TONIC SOL-FA MODULATOR covers the first six steps of the method, but is best adapted to the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Printed on cambric, 18 by 45 inches ; price, 45 cts. SUPPLEMENTS IN THE STAFF NOTATION. The iirst staf^ supplement may be taken up after or during the use of Book II. It will be found that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, as the pupils acquire a thorough knowledge of music itself by means of the simpler notation of the Sol-fa books; the supplements simply require an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the same time additional practice. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOKS I. AND II gives the first, second, and third steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK III. covers th*^ fourth step. Price, 15 cts. 'STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK IV. contains the fifth step. Price, 15 cts. BOUQUET OF SONG.

Two attempts allowed. The pupil may taa-tai the exercise in place of the first attempt. 3. — Sol-fa from the examiner's pointing on the modulator, a voluntary, moving at the rate of M. 60, and consisting of at least twenty-four tones, including leaps to any of the tones of the scale, but neither transition or the minor mode. 4. — Sol-fa at first sight, from the Tonic Sol fa Notation, a phrase of eight tones, or else the air of a " single chant," which has no tones out of the common major scale, and no tones shorter than a pulse. 5. — The tones of the Doh chord being given by the examiner, tell by ear the Sol-fa name of any one tone of the scale sung to laa, or played upon some instrument. * Elementary Rhythms are to be found in Book II. REQUIREMENTS OF THE ELEMENTARY CERTIFICATE OF THE TONIC SOL-FA COLLEGE. 1. — Bring on separate slips of paper the names of six tunes, and sol-fa from memory, while pointing it on the modulator, one of these tunes chosen by lot. 2. — Sing on one tone to laa, or any Other syllable, in perfectly correct time, any two of the " Elementary Rhythms," from Nos. 7 to 26, taken by lot. Two attempts allowed. The pupil may Taa-tai each exercise in place of the first attempt. 3. — Sol-fa from the examiner's pointing on the modulator, a voluntary moving at the rate of M. 60, containing transitions of one remove. 4. — Pitch the key-tone by means of a given C, sol-fa not more than three times, and afterwards sing to words, or to the syllable laa, any " part" in a psalm or hymn-tune in Tonic Sol-fa notation, not seen before, but not necessarily containing any passages of transition, or of the minor mode, or any division of time less than a full pulse. 5. — The tones of a doh chord being given by the examiner, tell, by ear, the sol-fa names of any three tones of the scale sung to laa, or playerl upon some instrument. [Two attempts allowed, a different exercise being used in the second case.] THE TONIC SOL-FA MUSIC COUKSE FOR SCHOOLS. A SERIES OF EXERCISES AND SONGS IN THE TONIC SOL-P^A METHOD, PROGRESSIVELY ARRANGED IN STEPS; WITH A CORRESPONDING SUPPLEMENTAL COURSE IN THE STAFF NOTATION. BOOK III. BY DANIEL BATOHELLOE AND THOMAS CHARMBURY. BOSTON: OLIVER DITSON COMPANY. NEW YOBK: CHICAGO: PHILADELPHIA: BOSTON: C. H. Ditson &. Co. Lyon &. Healy. J. E. Diison &. Co. John C. Haynes &. Co. PEEFAOE. The Tonic Sol-fa Music Course is prepared especially for the use of schools. The exercises are carefully graded according to the steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Book III contains exercises and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of " transition " (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. In the first part of the book the transitions are in simple cadence form, but later on, they are shown in their more extended forms. The rhythmic exercises are designed mainly to illustrate " syncopation," the nature of which is explained in the manual. As time and tune are closely associated in melody, tune forms are now added to the time studies. The exercises for voice training are made as simple as possible, but each is intended for a special purpose ; and before giving it to the class, the teacher should carefully read what is said about it in the notes of the manual. The plan of embodying each new thing in tuneful exercises, and illustrating by pleasant songs, is still adhered to. Of necessity, the teaching of this step will require more musical ability on the part of the teacher than in teaching the earlier steps ; but it is hoped that by following the directions given in the manual, the school teachers will still be able (in the absence of a music teacher) to conduct the musical education of their pupils in an intelligent manner. While a large part of this book is original, it will be seen that several favorite songs of leading composers have been incorporated into it, and special acknowledgment is due to Messrs. Curwen & Sons, of London, for the use which has been made of their school instruction books. Copyright, 1884, by F. H. GiLSOK. THE TONIC SOL-FA MUSIC COURSE FOR SCHOOLS. BOOK III. FOURTH STEP.

By DANIEL BATCHELLOR and THOMAS CHARMBURY. The course consists of four books in the Tonic Sol-fs. notation, a supplemental course in the Staff notation, a manual for teachers, and modulators for clas.s use. IN THE SOL-FA NOTATION. KOOK I. contains studies and songs in the first and second steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method, and they are here treated more fully than in any previous work. Price, 15 cts. BOOK ,1. teaches the third step. The development of the sub-dominant chord completes the diatonic scale, and new difficulties of rhythm are introduced. The exercises and songs are suited to the highest primary and lower grammar schools. Price, 15 cts. BOOK III. contains exercises and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of transi- tion (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. The rythmic exer cises are designed mainly to illustrate syncopation, the nature of which is explained in the Manual. There are several selections from standard composers. Price, 15 cts. BOOK IV. takes up the fifth step of the method, comprising minor music, with difficult forms of rhythm. It also contains selections of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will pre- pare the pupils to sing advanced music from sight, as well as to have an intelligent appreciation of the musical classics. Price, 15 cts. THE MANUAL will enable the regular teacher to teach the method as intelligently as any other study. The notation, mental effects, hand signs, etc., are explained, and hints given on the formation of correct habits of singing. A part on rote singing is followed by thirty-six rote songs. Then follows notes on the five steps, giving all necessary aid in teaching. Limp cloth binding; price, 45 cts. THE STEP MODULATOR comprises modulators for the first, .econd, and third steps, nicely printed on heavy, durable paper. Size, 30 by 54 inches ; price, 25 cts. THE TONIC SOL-FA MODULATOR covers ihe first six steps of the method, but is best adapted ^o the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Printed on cambric, 18 by 45 inches ; price, 45 cts. SUPPLEMENTS IN THE STAFF NOTATION. The iirst staff supplement may be taken up after or during the use of Book II. It will be found that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, us the pupils acquire a thorough knowledge of music itself by means of the simpler notation of the Sol-fa books; the supplements simply require an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the same time additional | ractice. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOKS I. AND IL gives the first, second, and third steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK III. covers thb fourth step. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK IV. contains the fifth step. Price, 15 cts. BOUQUET OF SONG. EDITED BY DANIEL BATCHELLOR, Graduate 0/ the Tonic Sol-fa College of London.

The Tonic Sol-fa Music Course is prepared especially for use in schools. The exercises are carefully graded according to the steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Book ly. contains exercises and songs in the fifth step. This step introduces minor music, and shows modulation from the major mode into its relative minor mode, and vice-versa . Although the work of this step is of a more advanced character, it will be found to grow naturally out of the previous steps, and the teachers who have been successful hitherto, will be able to lead the pupils on through these exercises. For practical hints and methods of presentation we refer them to the accompanying Manual for Teachers. While some of the songs and most of the exercises are original, and prepared espe- cially for this book, it was deemed advisable to select freely from appropriate works of well-known composers. In doing this we have borne in mind the importance of selecting only such pieces as contained music and words of a pure and elevating character. The Solfeggios, Intermediate Rhythms, and Minor Mode Phrases, at the end of the book, are intended to prepare the pupils for the requirements of the Intermediate Certifi- cate of the Tonic Sol-fa College.

By DANIEL BATCHELLOR and THOMAS CHARMBURY. The course consists of four books in the Tonic Sol-fa notation, a supplemental course in the Staff notation, a manual for teachers, and modulators for class use. IN THE SOL-FA NOTATION. BOOK I. contains studies and songs in the first and second steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method, and they are here treated more fully than in any previous work. Price, 15 cts. BOOK II. teaches the third step. The development of the sub-dominant chord completes the diatonic scale, and new difficulties of rhythm are introduced. The exercises and songs are suited to the highest primary and lower grammar schools. Price, 15 cts. BOOK III. contains exercises and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of transi- tion (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. The rythmic exer- cises are designed mainly to illustrate syncopation, the nature of which is explained in the Manual. There are several selections from standard composers. Price, 15 cts. BOOK IV. takes up the fifth step of the method, comprising minor music, with difficult forms of rhythm. It also contains selections of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will pre- pare the pupils to sing advanced music from sight, as well as to have an intelligent appreciation of the musical classics. Price, 15 cts. THE MANUAL will enable the regular teacher to teach the method as intelligently as any other study. The notation, mental effects, hand signs, etc., are explained, and hints given on the formation of correct habits of singing. A part on rote singing is followed by thirty-six rote songs. Then follows notes on the five steps, giving all necessary aid in teaching. Limp cloth binding ; price, 45 cts. THE STEP MODULATOR comprises modulators for the first, second, and third steps, nicely printed on heavy, durable paper. Size, 30 by 54 inches ; price, 25 cts. THE TONIC SOL-FA MODULATOR covers the first six steps of the method, but is best adapted to the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Printed on cambric, 18 by 45 inches; price, 45 cts. SUPPLEMENTS IN THE STAFF NOTATION. The iirst staff supplement may be taken up after or during the use of Book IL It will be found that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, as the pupils acquire a thorough knowledge of music itself by means of the simpler notation of the Sol-fa books ; the supplements simply require an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the same time additional practice. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOKS 1. AND II. gives the first, second, and third steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK III. covers the fourth step. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK IV. contains the fifth step. Price, 15 cts. BOUQUET OF SONG. EDITED BY DANIEL BATCHELLOR, Graduate of the Tonic Sol-fa College of London.

The Tonic Sol-fa Music Course is prepared especially for tlie use of schools. The exercises are carefully graded according to the steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method. The purpose of the Staff Supplement is to enable the Tonic Sol-fa pupils to apply their knowledge of music to the Staff Notation, This book should not be taken up until the corresponding steps in the Tonic Sol-fa Books have been learned. Where it is deemed desirable, the staff exercises may follow at the close of each step ; but more satisfactory results will be obtained by working through Books I. and II. before introducing the Staff. Tne more thoroughly music itself is first understood, the more easily and rapidly will the pupils learn to use the Staff Notation. A few simple rules for finding the key, and for getting a pictorial impression of the scale in all keys, are here given. For further instruction as to the manner of presenting the subject, the teacher is referred to the "Manual for Teachers," which accompanies the Course. The Rounds in the Third Step will be found useful drill for securing good time, and independence of parts. Most of the music is original, and has been prepared for this book. We wish to acknowledge our obligation to Messrs. Curwen & Sons, of London, for the songs ''Dame Swallow," and "The March Winds." Copyright, 1885, by F. H.

By DANIEL BATCHELLOR and THOMAS CHARMBURY. The course consists of four books in tne Tonic Sol-f^ notation, a supplemental course in the Staff notation, a manual for teachers, and modulators for class, use. IN THE SOL-FA NOTATION. ROOK T. contains studies and songs in the first and second steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method, and they are here treated more fully than in any previous work. Price, 15 cts. BOOK A. teaches the third step. The development of the sub-dominant chord completes the diatonic scale, and new difficulties of rhythm are introduced. The exercises and songs are suited to the highest primary and lower grammar schools. Price, 15 cts. BOOK III. contains exercises and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of transi-. tion (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. The rythmic exer- cises are designed mainly to illustrate syncopation, the nature of which is explained in the Manual. There are several selections from standard composers. Price, 15 cts. BOOK IV. takes up the fifth step of the method, comj^rising minor music, with difficult forms of rhythm. It also contains selections of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will pre- pare the pupils to sing advanced music from sight, as well as to have an intelligent appreciation of the musical classics. Price, 15 cts. THE MANUAL will enable the regular teacher to teach the method as intelligently as any other study. The notation, mental effects, hand signs, etc., are explained, and hints given on the formation of correct habits of singing. A part on rote singing is followed by thirty-six rote songs. Then follows notes on the five steps, giving all necessary aid in teaching. Limp cloth binding; price, 45 cts. THE STEP MODULATOR comprises modulators for the first, second, and third steps, nicely printed on heavy, durable paper. Size, 30 by 54 inches; price, 25 cts. THE TONIC SOL-FA MODULATOR covers ^he first six steps of the method, but is best adapted ^o the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Printed on cambric, 18 by 45 inches; price, 45 cts. SUPPLEMENTS IN THE STAFF NOTATION, The iirst staff supplement may be taken up after or during the use of Book II. It will be found that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, as the pupils acquire a thorough knowledge of music itself by means of the simpler notation of the Sol-fa books; the supplements simply require an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the same time additional practice. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOKS I. AND IL gives the first, second, and third steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK III. covers tht fourth step. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK IV. contains the fifth step. Price, 15 cts. BOUQUET OF SONG. EDITED BY DANIEL BATCHELLOR, Graduate 0/ the Tonic Sol-fa College of London.

The Tonic Sol-fa Music Course is prepared especially for the use of schools. The exercises are carefully graded according to the steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method. The purpose of the Staff Supplement is to enable the Tonic Sol-fa pupils to apply their knowledge of music to the Staff Notation. This Book should not be taken up until the corresponding work in Book III. has been accomplished. The more thoroughly music itself is first understood, the more easily and rapidly will the pupils learn to use the Staff Notation. The Fourth Step develops simple transition ; that is, changing the key by one remove, sharp or flat, from any given key. This supplement shows the same thing, with new exercises, on the staff. As far as Ex. 31, only "cadence transitions," or very brief changes of key, are introduced. The later exercises contain " extended transitions," and in them the extent of the new key is marked out, with the "bridge-notes " for sol-faing in each key according to the perfect method. In a few of the exercises the pupils are left to determine what bridge-notes they are to take, and sometimes into what key they are passing. The graded exercises in Rhythm, at the end, will help to cultivate the pupils' rhythmic sense, and will make them familiar with a great many rhythmic combinations. The Solfeggios for sight-singing are intended to promote readiness in singing at sight music which contains simple changes of key. In preparing the exercises, the leading aim has been to make them progressive in the order of musical development ; but care has also been taken to select good and appro- priate tunes for school use.

By DANIEL BATCHELLOR and THOMAS CHARMBURY. The course consists of four books in the Tonic Sol-fa notation, a supplemental course in the Staff notation, a manual for teachers, and modulators for class use. IN THE SOL-FA NOTATION. BOOK I. contains studies and songs in the first and second steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method, and they are here treated more fully than in any previous work. Price, 15 cts. BOOK II. teaches the third step. The development of the sub-dominant chord completes the diatonic scale, and new difficulties of rhythm are introduced. The exercises and songs are suited to the highest primary and lower grammar schools. Price, 15 cts. BOOK III. contains exercises and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of transi- tion (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. The rythmic exer- cises are designed mainly to illustrate syncopation, the nature of which is explained in the Manual. There are several selections from standard composers. Price, 15 cts. BOOK IV. takes up the fifth step of the method, comprising minor music, with difficult forms of rhythm. It also contains selections of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will pre- pare the pupils to sing advanced music from sight, as well as to have an intelligent appreciation of the musical classics. Price, 15 cts. THE MANUAL will enable the regular teacher to teach the method as intelligently as any other study. The notation, mental effects, hand signs, etc., are explained, and hints given on the formation of correct habits of singing. A part on rote singing is followed by thirty-six rote songs. Then follows notes on the five steps, giving all necessary aid in teaching. Limp cloth binding; price, 45 cts. THE STEP MODULATOR comprises modulators for the first, second, and third steps, nicely printed on heavy, durable paper. Size, 30 by 54 inches; price, 25 cts. THE TONIC SOL-FA MODULATOR covers the first six steps of the method, but is best adapted to the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Printed on cambric, 18 by 45 inches ; price, 45 cts. SUPPLEMENTS IN THE STAFF NOTATION. The first staff supplement may be taken up after or during the use of Book II. It will be found that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, as the pupils acquire a thorough knowledge cf music itself by means of the simpler notation of the Sol-fa books ; the supplements simply require an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the sam€ time additional practice. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOKS I. AND II. gives the first, second, and third steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK III. covers the fourth step. Price, 15 cts. STAFF SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK IV. contains the fifth step. Price, 15 cts. BOUQUET OF SONG. EDITED BY DANIEL BATCHELLOR, Graduate of the Tonic Sol-fa College of London.

THE TONIC SOL-FA MUSIC COURSE FOR SCHOOLS. STAFF NOTATION SUPPLEMENT TO BOOK IV. DAI^IEL BATCHELLOR THOMAS CHARMBUKY. BOSTON: F. H. GIL SON. CHICAGO: S. R WINCHELL & CO. PEEFACE. The Tonic Sol-fa Music Course is prepared especially for the use of schools. The exercises are carefully graded according to the Tonic Sol-fa Method. The purpose of the Staff Supplement is to enable the Tonic Sol-fa pupils to apply their knowledge of music to the st^ff notation. This book should not be taken up until the corresponding work in Book IV. has been accomplished. The more thoroughly music itself is first understood, the more easily and rapidly will the pupils comprehend the more complex signs of the statF notation. The Fifth Step develops the minor mode, and shows its relation to the major mode. The principles of presentation are the same here as in Book IV., but all the exercises are different. The first part of the book introduces the pupils to minor melodies and two-part harmonies ; but from page 10 the music is in three-part harmony, in some cases arranged for equal voices, i.e., first and second soprano and contralto, and in others for soprano, contralto, and bass. The extended part-songs, with occasional solos in the latter part of the book, will furnish excellent practice for the older scholars, to whom they will probably be interesting as well as instructive.

By DANIEL BATCHELLOR, and THOMAS CHARMBURY. The Course consists of a series of four books in the Tonic Sol-fa notation, and a Supplemental Course in the staff Notation. Tliere is also a manual for teachers, and modulators for class use. IN THE SOL-FA NOTATION. The Step Modulator comprises modulators for the first, second, and third steps, nicely- printed on heavy, durable paper. Size, 80 by 54 inches. Price, 25 cents. The Manual contains such instruction as will enable the ordinary teacher to teach the method intelligently, besides being a commentary upon the exercises in the different steps.. Part I. explains the notation, and is a commentary on the first two steps. It also contains thirty-six rote songs for the lowest primary grade, with numerous hints for the teacher as to the formation of correct habits in singing. Limp cloth ; price, 40 cents. Book 1. contains studies and songs in the first and second steps of the Tonic Sol-fa Method. These early steps are treated much more fully in this book than in any other work which has hitherto appeared. Price, 15 cents. Book II. is devoted to the teaching of the third step. The development of the sub-dominant chord completes tlie diatonic scale, and new difficulties of rhythm are introduced. The exercises and songs of this book are suited to the highest primary and lower grammar school classes.. Price, 15 cents. Book III. contains exercises and songs in the fourth step. In this step, the subject of "tran- sition" (sometimes called modulation), or passing from one key to another, is taught. The rhythmic exercises are designed mainly to illustrate " syncopation," the nature of which is explained in the Manual. There are several selections from standard composers. Price, 15 cents. Book IV. takes up the fifth and sixth steps of the method, comprising extended transitions and minor music, with difficult forms of rhythm. It also contains a selection of choice music from the works of the great masters, and will prepare the pupils to sing advanced music at sight, as well as to have an intelligent appreciation of the musical classics. SUPPLEMENTS IN THE STAFF NOTATION. The first staff supplement may be taken up at the end of, or during, Book II. It will be found that comparatively little study will be required on the staff, as the pupils acquire a thorough knowl- edge of music itself by means of the simpler notation of the Sol-fa books ; the supplements simply require an understanding of a more complex representation of a subject already familiar, giving at the same time additional practice. Staff Supplement to Books I. and II. gives the first, second, and third steps of the Tonic Sol-fa method. Price, 15 cents. Staff Supplement to Book III. covers the fourth step. Staff Supplement to Book IV. contains the fifth and sixth steps. BOUQUET OF SONG EDITED BY Graduate of the Tonic Sol-fa College of London. A graded course of singing in the Tonic Sol-fa notation for the use of classes, beginning with the first step, and extending into the sixth step. Price, 25 cents. BOSTON: CHICAGO: F. E. GILS ON. S.
