Excerpt from Listening Lessons in Music Graded for Schools

The subject of appreciation is the latest phase of public school music to command attention, and while a few cities have given it a definite place in the course of study, ideas concerning its application to the classroom are more or less vague.

Any kind of music lesson is incomplete if ?sthetic consideration is omitted. There are many ways of bringing the subject to the class: through suitable textbook material, through the contributing influences of visiting artists, and through the use of the phonograph and player piano (the latter, however, not as yet practicable in grades because of its expense).

The subject is easily presented by means of the phonograph. The kind of phonograph is of small consequence, providing it can render a good quality of tone and is easily operated.

The essential requirements of the record are that it should possess tone quality worthy of imitation and should be fitted for educational purposes.
