HoLLis Dann Cornell University (3) INTRODUCTION This book is a collection of Rote Songs for the children of the Kindergarten and first grade, and a manual for the teacher. The book is to be used in con- nection with the author's Musical Dictation, Book I, which provides all neces- sary material and directions for first year music, outside of Rote Singing. MUSIC — A LANGUAGE Language is " a means of expressing or communicating feeling or thought." Many languages are in use in Europe and America, but often intercommunica- tion is impossible because the language of one people is unintelligible to another. Music is a common means of expression for all Western civilization and is there- fore 'the most nearly universal of all languages. We can understand and appre- ciate the music of European composers and enjoy and understand its interpreta- tipn by foreign artists, whose speech and language are unknown to us. The proper way to begin the study of a language is by imitation. Through imitation we best learn to think and speak a new language. In all cases, the ability to think and give expression should precede the attempt to read, for read- ing is simply the ability to recognize thoughts represented by symbols. Unless the ability to think in the language is present, the symbols are meaningless and reading is impossible. The elements of the tone language must be learned through the ear by imitation, as the mother tongue is learned. Rote singing, therefore, is the only logical and sensible beginning of the study of music. TONE QUALITY Children sing with a mellow, flutelike tone, easily and without effort, when properly taught. Every really good boy-choir illustrates this beautiful, appeal- ing tone-quality peculiar to children. The brilliancy and refinement of tone produced by a well trained choir of carefully selected voices cannot be obtained in the public schools, yet the same tone-production and quality can be obtained if the grade teacher will learn to discriminate between good and bad tone, and to teach children correct tone- production. This is especially easy and practic- able with first grade children, few of whom have formed wrong habits of sing- ing. Technical knowledge of the voice is not required of the teacher. Even the best methods of training the adult voice cannot safely be applied to the train- ing of the child voice. The teacher's first step is to gain the ability to discriminate clearly between 6 good and bad tone-production. . The teacher's ear must become very sensitive to tone-quahty so that bad tone is positively annoying and painful to her. The voice of the child from six to eight years of age is very light when properly used. Under no circumstances should these young children be encour- aged or allowed to sing with any but a Ught, soft tone. The one, true, musical way for children to sing is with the " thin, or head voice." This is the unanimous opinion of all the great authorities on the child voice. The tone is sweet and agreeable, mellow and musical, and is produced without effort or strain. By extending the thin, bead voice downward, the so- called "break " is avoided, and all tendency to force and strain the voice and throat is removed. The teacher who aspires to teach children to sing sljould realize that the importance of tone-quality overshadows all other elements of school music. The habit of singing with a mellow, flutelike, musical tone, produced naturally and easily, without effort and without fatigue or injury to the voice, is vastly more important than sight singing or any other feature of the study. Unless under skillful direction, children in classes invariably sing with a coarse, harsh, shouting tone which impairs and often ruins the voice, makes good singing impossible, and causes all manner of bad vocal conditions. Any amount of skill in sight reading cannot compensate for impaired and broken voices, strained and weakened throats. These are the inevitable consequences where supervisors and teachers fail to take proper care of the delicate mechanism of the singing voice of the child. Wherever children are allowed to sing as they please, ' ' naturally and heartily ' ' as advocated even by some prominent educa- tors, the tonal conditions are invariably bad and the consequences disastrous. The principal cause of harsh and unmusical tone in the first grade is the practice of allowing children to sing in a low compass, thus encouraging the use of the thick " chest " voice. This practice will inevitably produce dangerous and abnormal conditions. A stiff jaw, roUed-up tongue and puckered Ups will surely develop if children are allowed to use any but the light, thin, head voice. Good tone-production is impossible with such conditions prevailing. A flexible lower jaw is absolutely essential. The teeth should be apart on all vowels in- cluding e. Many children sing the vowel e with the teeth closed. Good tone cannot be produced with the mouth closed ; forcing the mouth open while the muscles are set, is almost as bad as the closed mouth. The tongue should lie naturally, having perfect freedom of action. The lips should be natural and free. Tightening the lips stiffens the muscles of the face. All of these faults are evidences of wrong efibrt and abnormal conditions. The teacher should en- deavor to remove the cause, but should not make the child self-conscious by talking about the lips, and tongue and jaw. The jaw, tongue, and lips must re- lax and assume a natural and normal action. BREATHING The use of breathing exercises by JKindergarten and first grade pupils, usually does more harm than good. Repeated attempts by young children to take a " big breath, " induce the worst and most troublesome habit of breathing, 7 known as collar-bone breathing, evidenced by an over-inflated chest and raised shoulders. Only general suggestions encouraging deep breathing, and then mostly having to do with position, are advisable at this time. The teacher knows that taking the deep breath causes the depression of the diaphragm and the consequent expansion of the abdomen, followed almost simultaneously by the sideways expansion of the lower ribs. The child breathes this way when he sleeps. The teacher should aim to keep the position correct and the breathing normal. The singing of children should never be conducted by teachers who do not know how to secure safe tone-production. Help from the supervisor or from some other trained teacher is almost a necessity. Careful study of two or three Uttle books will be of great assistance. " How to Train Children's Voices " by T. Haskell Hardy ; "The Child's Voice in Singing " by F. E. Howard; and " The Boy's Voice " by J. Spencer Curwen, are invaluable books for the teacher. FIRST STEPS IN MUSIC We will suppose that the teacher is about to give the first lesson in music to a first year class. Obviously the first thing required of the child is the abil- ity to match tones. One-third or one-half of the class, and sometimes more, will at first be unable to match tones, but a large proportion of the class will succeed in matching tones at the first lesson by ' ' playing engine. ' ' After proposing the "game," the teacher asks all to toot like an engine. thus w- Too, too, too. Note : A chromatic pitch pipe is a necessity unless there is a piano in the room. Even then the pitch pipe is preferable. After all have "tooted" together a few times, the teacher should walk about the room, carefully listen to each child, and quietly take the name of each one who does not sing the correct tone. These children need individual atten- tion daily until they are able to match tones. Seated where the children can gather around, the teacher works with each child alone. The imagination must be awakened. If the tone is too low, lead the child to think a higher tone. The skill of the teacher lies in leading the child to think correctly — to imagine he hears a high tone. By means of this simple method, nearly all of the children may be taught to match tones in a few weeks. The teacher should avoid call- ing any child a monotone. He may be called a " listener." He should not attempt to sing with the class. Such attempt only arrests progress, for the sound of his own voice keeps the child from hearing the correct tone. As soon as a child is able to sing the simplest tonal groups as given below, he may be allowed to sing with the class. At the second lesson, the ' ' singing class ' ' ( those who can match tones ) may continue as follows : The teacher sings ( 1 ) |^^ T j "T T 11 Too, too, too. i IW :?= Class imitates, several times. Then the teacher sings ( 2 ) Chil -dren go, to and fro. Class sings several times. The teacher then sings No. 3, the class imitating as before. eI («)^fe ^ M Come, let us learn to sing. The teacher should be sure to sing with the light, head tone. The vowel ob lends itself readily to the head-tone-quality and if sung to the pitch here sug- gested, there will be no difficulty in getting the soft, mellow tone desired. The teacher should make sure that the children sing with the same light, mellow tone when singing the words in Nos. 2 and 3, as when singing the vowel oo in No. 1. The following little " songs " may now be taught to the " singing class. " The teacher should sing the complete song several times with a light, clear, pleasant tone, about as fast as a good reader would read the words. The pitch of all the songs has been very carefully considered, because it is a vitally important matter. The teacher is urged not to change the key and not to guess at the pitch. Either a pitch pipe or some instrument is absolutely necessary. Every teacher, whether soprano or contralto, can learn to sing the upper tones in a light, pleasant voice. No other kind of tone-production should ever be used in singing to little children, as they will surely imitate the tone of the teacher. ** ^ COME AND PLAY :^ ? ^z Sf Come and play, come and play, AH this bright Oc - to - ber day.

BELLS IN THE STEEPLE 5Ei i ^ ^i~- t -(=- ^ Bells in the stee - pie, Call to the peo - pie; Ding-dong,ding-dong,ding-dong, bell! For additional short, simple songs, see Kindergarten Section, page 71. 9 The teacher should not sing with the children, but sing for them, always being careful to sing at the correct pitch and with a hght, mellow voice. The pitch of the melodies must not be lowered. To get the light, head quality, the upper tones of the voice must be used and the low tones avoided. For the present, children should not sing above F, fifth line. | ^ p The tones be- m low E-flat, first line \- Jf ■ , should be avoided for a while, because of the ^ tendency to use the lower thick quality on the low tones. This will encourage the use of the thin, head voice. Until correct habits are formed, it is unwise to have children sing melodies beginning with the low tones. The teacher should not fail to give a moment's individual attention to each non-singer, each day. The teacher who is enthusiastic and thoroughly interested, will find occasion to help these children at odd times and encourage them to come to her for assistance. Nearly all will be able to sing in a few months. Not more than one or two in a hundred are incurable monotones. With a skillful teacher in charge, sometimes every child in a first grade class is able to sing by the middle of the year. Investigation proves that nearly all so-called monotones are afflicted in some way and are not in a normal physical condition. The school physician should be consulted. Adenoids, swollen tonsils, catarrh, bronchitis, or other throat trouble, affecting the ear, throat or vocal chords, will usually be discovered. When the cause of the trouble is removed, the singing voice will usually be found to be normal. HOW TO TEACH A ROTE SONG Varying conditions materially affect the method of teaching a Rote Song. The character of the melody and of the words, the age and condition of the class, for example, influence the manner of presentation. No two teachers would present a song in exactly the same way. Yet there are certain features common to every successful presentation of a Rote Song. 1. The wise teacher does not indulge in baby talk. Children of school age quickly discover and resent any patronizing attitude on the part of the teacher. Two of the most common mistakes of young teachers are to under- estimate the common sense of the child and to overestimate his knowledge of words. 2. Something about the story of the song is always in order, provided it is sensible and to the point. Long stories are tedious and they waste time. 3. The melody should be accurately sung. Even one wrong tone or rhythm is inexcusable, and when once learned is very difficult to correct. The time wasted in correcting a mistake is often sufficient to teach a new song. 4. The words should be sung distinctly and naturally. The unimportant words and syllables should not be drawled out, but made subordinate as in good reading. 10 5. The teacher should have the song committed, or be so famUiar with words and music as to need only an occasional glance at the printed page. 6. If the teacher cannot sing the song acceptably, with fairly good tone and in good style, some other means of teaching the song should be pro- vided. The song may be taught by means of the talking machine. Records of many of the songs in this book have been made expressly for this pur- pose. An arrangement may be made with a teacher or pupil from another room, to sing the songs for the children. The entire song should be sung to the children several times. The first phrase should then be sung several times, the children listening and then imitat- ing. When the class has sung the first phrase accurately, the second is taken in the same way. The two are then sung together. One phrase at a time should be taught until the song is well learned. Very careful listening by the teacher is necessary to discover mistakes — wrong tones, wrong rhythms, wrong pronunciation, and indistinct enunciation. The careful teacher will discover all sorts of combinations which sound like words in the song, but which are unintelligible and meaningless. The meaning of unfamiliar words must be explained and the pronunciation and enunciation carefully practiced. By doing thoroughly and well, one stanza or even one- half a stanza of a song at a lesson, much more will be accomplished than by half learning twice as much. 11 SECTION I ROTE SONGS HAPPY THOUGHT Robert Louis Stevenson r\ 1 h V \ \> t* i i« 1 JL\>]" m r ,• 1* ,• • • « .W.I rm " ^ e L/ / L J J r / ^ 1 V y '^n u w w J \j 1/ J J J The world is SO full of a num - ber of things, I'm V 1 > r 1^ ^ K l\ IS 0^ V - ■■ /_ b 1 J J J 1 ' 1 ' i" ^ ^ r^ 1 II ffr\^ > S S S J J J J J II * • —d J U sure we should all be as hap py kings.

The year's work in music in the Kindergarten, if properly conducted, is extremely helpful and beneficial to children. On the other hand, positive injury to the voice, and dulling of the musical sensibilities, as well as loss of time and opportunity, are but too often the results of misdirected effort in the Kindergarten year. The temptation is very great to begin the teaching of songs too soon. Nothing but failure can result from the attempt to have children sing songs with the piano before they are able to match tones. Such ' ' singing ' ' is only ' ' mono- toning, ' ' and it actually prevents the child from learning to sing. Continued "monotoning" while others are singing, dulls the ear, deadens the sense of pitch, and makes more difiicult the task of teaching the child to sing. The singing of many half-learned . songs with pianoforte accompaniment also develops the pernicious habit of singing wrong words and meaningless com- binations of sounds. To be convinced of its futility, one has only to listen to the individual singing of a few children who have been the victims of this sort of teaching. The Kindergarten spirit of play can and should be retained and used in con- nection with correct methods of teaching singing to children. Kindergartners will find that by the use of the methods herein advocated, nothing will have to be unlearned in the higher grades, and steady progress in the right direction will be insured. The larynx of the child grows very rapidly until the age of six, after which time it does not change materially until puberty. All authorities agree that the singing of little children should be conducted with the greatest care, and that all loud singing and forcing of the voice should be avoided. Many of the songs found in Kindergarten books are entirely too long and too difficult for the children. This applies to both text and music. The songs should be of the very simplest character. It is hardly necessary to suggest to Kindergarten teachers that the songs used should be correlated with other feat- ures of the daily program. The outline of songs that follows is suggestive only. In selecting addi- tional material, care should be taken that the range ( compass ) of the songs shall include only that register of the child's voice which it is proper to use at this time. Asa rule the song should begin in the middle or upper part of the com- , which should not extend above F, fifth line / ■ . f ■ or below E flat, first pass line 72 If the teacher works faithfully and systematically, nearly all the so-called monotones may be eliminated before the end of the year, thus gaining several months for the unmusical child who is to enter the first grade. The first steps in teaching singing in the Kindergarten are identical with those of the first grade, and the methods are therefore the same. For detailed instruction concerning the methods to be employed, see pages 5 to 10. ACCOMPANIMENTS The accompaniment should not be used until the children can sing the song. While learning a song, the attention of the pupils should be centered upon the melody and the words, and the teacher should give her entire attention to the singing of the pupils. When the accompaniment is played, it is essential that 1. The piano be in tune. 2. The accompaniment be played precisely as written and not too loudly. Extemporized accompaniments should be avoided. 3. The piano should be used sparingly. Singing with piano accompani- ment should be the exception rather than the rule. 73 i I Allegro mf GOOD MORNING SONG i ^^ IS— t i^ 1 . Good morn - ing, good morn ing, Good morn - ing to you ! Good 2.
