1. Music for Upper Grades and High Schools.—This course will
treat of the subject of music under two heads, theory and practice.
The practice hours will be devoted to the following topics: Songs
illustrating the more advanced problems of music and sight singing;
two and three part music; bass singing; vocal training for upper
grades; simple harmony; boys' voices; how to get the most effective
results from class and chorus work; programs for festivals and entertainments;
selected folk and national songs for illustrating literature,
history and geography. The theory hour will give a general
review of the procedure of music from grade to grade, in order to acquaint
the student with the essential problems of each. Exercises
and outlines will be required daily, as well as discussions of books
and materials illustrating principles and their adaptation to country
school courses. The entire effort of this course will be to simplify
advanced music and lead directly to its expression in voice and instrument.

Text-Books.—Modern Music Series, Books III and IV, and selected
works and chorus music.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Miss Hofer and Professor Russell. Cabell
