MUSICAL SOUNDS.
Thinking Them as One Does LISTERS
and Words is Not Difficult.

To acquire the habit OF thinking mu-
steal sounds. as one does letters and
words, is not n difficult task. In fact.
10 one who undertakes II seriously
.here is no difficulty greater than that
OF learning TO read literature. The
usual method OF tuition, which teaches
the pupil TO regard this. that or the
Dther note as identical with certain
positions on his instrument, Is not one
best calculated TO make him an ef-
ficient and intelligent reader. He new
er attains to independence I'm musical
thought. but must ever refer TO his
instrument before he can form a fairly
accurate conception OF the musical
story that lies silent on the page be-
fore him.
AS child may learn to read the al
phabet. TO form letters into words and
thence into sentences and so on, just
so may. the music student learn TO
combine and use the notes before him.
Strange as 1t may appear. the study
or reading music may be carried ON
mentally For instance, while L think
or a melody my mind traces its flow
and all the paraphernalia OF the staff
and notation appear as the melody
passes away into time. I realize the
clef, time. and key signatures, bar
lines. rhythmic divisions. and In n mo-
ment l transfer the thought 10 paper.
People In general are accustom1d to
the transference OF their Ordinary
thoughts To papers and by constant
practice the labor of transmittal from
brain TO paper is minimizcd so greatly
as TO appear almost automatic in per-
Torrance. Whatever OF laborious eff
fort appear In the process OF writing
music is the result of want OF prac-
tice and not that this form of writing
is really or intrinsically more difficult
than writing in words. or demands
any greater mental or manual effort
The mind is here master and directs
the operations OF the hand: and both
gain facility from the practice which
comes OF thinking music.-Musician.
