While the illustrations have been written in close score, it is nevertheless urged that all exercises be written out in open score, as the movement of the different parts is thus more clearly seen.
The use of the C-clefs is left optional with the teacher.
A knowledge of harmony is presupposed, hence nothing is said pertaining to it.
The author wishes to express his indebtedness to Professor A.E. Heacox for his help and advice.
