The author proffers a system designed to cultivate the art of analyzing and criticizing and to assist in the performance and understanding of the works of the great composers of different epochs. Goodrich instructs teachers that: Attention is first called to the twofold character of this book. The auricular exercises go hand in hand with the numerous bits and scraps of information which are necessary to the proper enjoyment or performance of music, and to the analysis of compositions away from the instrument. The mere act of hearing music will not cultivate the art of listening. Even pupils who are technically well advanced will, as a rule, require systematic practice in listening to single tones, different kinds of rhythm, chord combinations, etc. When a preliminary exercise is played the class must know whether they are to apprehend the distance of the intervals, or the value of the notes. Otherwise the ear received but little benefit, because the mind does not cooperate. The lessons must penetrate beyond the auricle, and to the vestibule. Goodrich presents a well-organized approach to developing a musician's listening abilities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
