Excerpt from Music Reader: Number Two This volume opens with a simple expression of the principles of the preceding books, and the plan of advancement is parallel with what has heretofore been presented. The Chromatic, Minor, and Rhythmic ele ments are further developed and explained. Three-part songs and exercises appear for the first time. The songs are selected from the best composers, and will be found to be strictly educational in character, the children having acquired in the study of the exercises sufficient ability to read them. Some of the occasional songs are presented in three parts, thus lending variety and offering a study in part-music. If desirable, the occasional songs may be used in unison as before, or the lower grades may sing them in unison and the upper classes in three parts.
