| Senate Chamber, Friday, Dec g, S a.
m.-From the preamble prepared by Helen
Place, of this city, the sense of the meeting
| may be taken to be that the teacher Of
music needs development more along the
| lines of pedagogy than musicianship. and
that devices and small methods are Of less
value to the teacher than the grasping of
| fundamental principles and their broader
| application. The topics suggested for dis
| cussion are:
/. What is the special mode of appeal
| that makes music uniquely valuable as an
educative agent?"
2. "Are the highest possibilities of music
| study approached by the customary en-
phasis upon sight reading?"
8. Does the actual use made of music
reading by average men, leading the usual
| life, seem to justify all the grounds of util-
| ity, the usual stress laid on the reading of
music In the schools?"
4. What exercise Of the musical faculty
| is more often called into play in life than
| the ability to sing at sight?"
| 5. "Do the schools fit for this?"
o. what special line of technical work
| is required for making intelligent listen
| ers?'
Z. Arrange co-ordinately and subordi-
| nately, according to educational values, (a)
! singing for self-expressions sake, (b) sight
| singing, (c) hearing good music, (d) ear
! training. Is ear training an adjunct Of
sight reading. or sight reading of ear
| training?"
s. How is it possible to give children a
| chance to hear more good music?'
| Q. Song for the musics sake or song
| for self-expression sake?''
10. What is meant by 'apperception? Z"
| (See Hobart and Herbartains," PIP. 33-41.)
II. What experience for the appercep-
| ton of technical facts has the first-grade
! pupil at the time when technical work is
usually begun? What lines of first-year
work are suggested by the fact?"
| II. What ideas for music teaching are
| suggested by the methods. of teaching pri-
mary reading used in your schools? By
| art work."
13 "vitalization Of formal technique In
mastering a given technical problem which
method is most in conformity with higher
| ends in music study-one which masters
! the problem by appealing to and utilizing
| the fluency and spontaneity os musical
| feeling one which necessitateS rigid ap-
| plication of mental calculation, accuracy,
| ETC.? Which method is most commonly
| held as the ideal? Which shows the
| farthest advance in this line-the teaching
| of time problems or the teaching OF tune
| problems?"
IA. Advantage of rounds and conons in
| teaching part singing"
