The PRrHARr HorE. READER; Or. First steps in sing
ing at Sight. By JAMES +. WARNER.
The views of Mr. Warner in regard TO teaching
Vocal Music, as developed in this little book and in
his .Rudimental Lessons in Music are founded
upon much observation and are generally judicous
as far as they 60 He has, however, adapted his
plan too much to the frivolous and superficial wants
of the public, and narrows the true scope OF Musical
Education down to the accomplishment of few
commonplaces easily achieved by ordinary voices
and dignifed with the name ofs;nging Every time
the subject of Musical Education comes up Tor con-
sidera,on we feel more deeply the need oil such an
enlargement of lis sphere materials, processes ana
objects as would amount 10 a radical reform There
is no meaning in the music commonly taught, and
the pupil instead of being imbued with the purify
ing and elcvatins spirituality which selects music as
It's interpreter 10 the soul of man. is wearied and
disgusted with the iteration OF specific number
OF unmeanng exercises formed OF nothing and lead
ing 10 nothing. We don't mean by this that the
study of the rudimcn;s OF music should be neglect
ed bu, we do insis, ,ha, the divine spirit and
nns,ra,iou ot music 10 the soul should first and al
ways he developed; ~ the young mind. Then awak-
ened ssu;rtas for The Beautiful would render light
aud insignificant those ,uountainburdens OF eXer-
cises wi hch by turns irk, discourage and appa the
young advcniurer into their labyrinths. The ee-
rlents of music are in truth few, grand and simple
l. is ouly on account of the unscent6c and unneces-
sarv subdivisions into which it has been dissected-
the immense Accommodations Of barbarous ignorance,
incongru,y and Quackery under which centary after
century It's true noble and natural architecture has
been hidden-,hat the acquisition of knowledge
Of music seems and is. under our present methods,
fework of weary toil-only successful, even then
with here and there highly-favored organization
Music is simply language--the highest, subimest
and most natural 10 the heart of all languages and
il is only because we begin at the exactly wrong
end of the subject that its thousand delicate intiec
tions, shades and conjugations are so dithcult-in
mos, cases so impossible-to acquire. few lead
Ing and fundamental ideas which would set the in
tellec, on the right track and thus make the heart
feel what the brain was learning-and all these
musty difficulties vanish-the soul understands her
self and speaks, and 10! her voice is music
Nearly all education is begun at the branches In
stead of the roots-as if one should anoint the boughs
of a Young tree instead of ting and manuring It's
roots 10 make it produce its natural fruit Science
creates no,hing-it only dereiops the laws and pro-
per,ies of Nature Put human soul in possession
of se-,hat is rid it of all ideas of its weak
ness, imperiection and capacity, which 1t lmbloes
from the first moment of sentent intercourse wlth
other souls-and lis intuitions will transcend your
utmost experimental reasonings and scientific in
ves;ga,ions its outgushing language will far sur
pass the music of the reputed schools OF Paris
or Milan.
There is q system of Musical Education now be-
ing taught in France and 10 which we have once
before alludcd-that Of Nine. Emile Cheve-which
releases the study Of music from more than three
quarters ofits stupidity and drudgery and which In
our opinion approaches very near the true synthesls
of music AS yet it is almost entirely unknown in
this country but cannot long remain
