Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public School Orchestras and Bands The aim of the teacher of fine arts is almost equally clear. If he gives instruction in painting, singing, or playing an instrument, it is plain that the instructor must guide, but the student must perform; that no matter how much the master may know of the theory of the art, that knowledge will have meaning for the student and can be imparted to him only in connection with his own doing; that all formal lessons, such as learning to read the score, finger exercises, the manipula tion of the stops, the tuning of the instrument, etc., are but necessary parts of a larger process and without significance by themselves.
