Excerpt from Grade School Music Teaching: For Superintendents, Music Supervisors, and Grade Teachers

Mr. Giddings is one of those teachers who insist on making sight-singing a necessary part of music education. Those who cannot read words are classed as "illiterates," and Mr. Giddings makes the same classification in music.

Wherever music is taught, either in private or public schools, much time is spent in doing something with the notation. Mr. Giddings believes that instead of surrounding it with a veil of mystery and wasting time on stunts this part of the music period should be employed in the most effective way possible in teaching the children to read, and that all vagueness as to the meaning of the symbols of music should be removed from the minds of the pupils. Mr. Giddings lets the class drive ahead and "learn to read by reading."
