Book Description
Excerpt from Musical Theory The true method of teaching is not by Dogmatic Rules or by the compact Statements of Science, but by leading the pupil along the path of Discovery - from the easy to the difficult, from the simple to the complex, from the common to the uncommon, from the known to the unknown - until he is able to see for himself the scientific principles, and to frame for himself the dogmatic rules, to which the facts have led him. This is true of all studies, even of Arithmetic, of History, and of Mental Philosophy, but it is especially true of Art Studies such as Painting and Music. In all Arts we must do before we understand. Music must be taught first, and out of it must be developed the theory of music. Under the old system of teaching, ideas wore wrapt up in a form of words at. exact and logical as possible. The student was set to learn these words by heart, and then it was supposed that he necessarily understood the ideas contained in them. But when he was questioned it was found that his understanding of the matter was very hazy. The teacher forgol that these ideas had only been reached by the author himself through a long process of observation, of experiment, and of comparison. Not until then was he able to make the condensed verbal summary which to him is luminous with thought, and meaning, and life. The pupil must go through the same process in order to enjoy the same full and clear perception of the subject. For many years I resisted the importunity of friends who wished me to place in dogmatic form the principles of Musical Science. I dreaded lest Tonic Sol-fa teachers should fall back into the old dogmatic way of teaching, and plead my book of dogmas as their example and vindication. J found, however, that another danger arose - that of resting in practice and experiment and being content to live a musical life without thought or reason. It is very easy for those who take up music merely for recreation to fall into this fault. But they should reflect that it is worse than a fault; it is a sin against their own natures to handle this fine art of music without intelligence. It is putting their minds on a level with the instinct of the lark and the nightingale. Why were our minds given to us except to enjoy the reasons and relations of things? Besides, a good theory helps the man of practice in every way. 1st, It makes him observe better. When we know "what ought to be" we can more easily notice "what is." 2nd, It helps him to learn better, because he sees better what he is doing; and whither he is going. 3rd, It compels him to remember better, because each point is more vivid and full of moaning. It no longer stands alone; it has a distinct place in his mind. 4th, It enables him to enjoy better. He has a sense of power and light and beauty which the mere singing or playing "to order" can never give. I have, therefore, tried in the present series of books to present tho Theory of Music in the form in which, when it has been already discovered or properly learnt by the student, it should be stored in his memory. But that it may not become a quantity of dead matter in the mind, I have connected it with a series of exercises to be wrought out bv the students. And the Tonic Sol-fa College has now added Theory to Practice in its system of certificates. At every step of practical skill there is a corresponding step of theoretical knowledge ; and the principal honours of the College cannot be obtained without Theory as well as Skill.
