Excerpt from Psychology for Music Teachers: The Laws of Thought Applied to Sounds and Their Symbols, With Other Relevant Matter
The main purpose of this book is to offer some assistance to teachers of music in their daily work. So much is implied in its title. When the author commenced his career as a teacher no such book was in existence, or was regarded as desirable. In other subjects a little work had been done by educationists, and this has gradually culminated in the issue of large and important treatises by eminent writers. Of the value of such treatises it is unnecessary to say anything here, but they have the drawback that, so far as the average teacher of music is concerned, they contain a great deal of extraneous and unnecessary matter. That this is a disadvantage in the case of most teachers of music will not be denied, for they wish for the most practical and direct information on the topics which concern their work. Even in the case of those persons, whether members of the musical profession or not, who make a serious study of Psychology, large and ponderous volumes are of doubtful advantage at first. That this is the case so far as solitary students are concerned the present writer can testify most emphatically, and the same drawback exists in other subjects of study. A careful study of the following pages will be found of value as a preliminary to the perusal of more elaborate treatises.
