Excerpt from The Catholic Educational Review, Vol. 15
A complete system of musical instruction for our Catholic schools, beginning with the first grade and culminating in the college work leading to the Bachelor of Music Degree, has been planned and is being carried into effect in many parts of the country. The vocal work is comprised in the Catholic Education Music Course which is being developed by Mrs. Justin Ward. During the first four years in this course the children's voices are placed and trained, the rudiments of music are imparted, and the children learn to read music with facility. In this way, secure foundations are laid for the development of plain chant and for secular vocal music. During the subsequent four years of the elementary school a series of music readers will provide for the cultivation of the children's taste for the best in secular vocal music. A second course will instruct the children in ecclesiastical music so that they may be prepared to take their proper place in the services of the Church. Instruction in instrumental music may also be begun in the fifth year and carried forward throughout the elementary school, the secondary school and the college. The Progressive Series of Piano Lessons is adapted for this line of instruction. This course was found to be the nearest available approach to the ideal instruction in theory and in practice on the piano. Moreover, the course is found so comprehensive and thorough as to form a suitable basis for the work leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music, conferred by the Catholic University.
