The present little book is intended for the use of the pupil, it is absolutely necessary that the teacher should possess and use a copy of Part II of the work in its complete form, in which will be found the various Musical Dictation Tests, the Pianoforte accompaniments to the Rhythmic Exercises and Songs, and the music for the Appreciation lessons, together with the letterpress, giving full directions as to the use of the book. In order to obtain the best results the pupil must work systematically, even if only for a few minutes each day. When an instrument is being studied the necessary few minutes can be profitably taken out of the practice time. This, instead of retarding instrumental progress owing to an apparent reduction in time, will be found to accelerate it, because of the greater and keener aural attention it enforces.
