For the Intonations. ‘These exercises are made in order to familiarise the pupil with the in- tonations, and for sparing him the necessity of solving two difficulties at a time; the duration of the values and the accuracy of the sounds; hence, he will have to practise them exclusively while he is learning the first chapters of principles. ‘When the pupil shall seize the intonations easily,he will have to prac- tise in beating two, three and four to the measure, counting the beats instead of naming the notes, or of solfeggiating them. Fur this exercise, he should observe the greatest equality in the duration of each beat.(4) of times.| Rest. [4 times. | Rest. | 4 times. Rest. 1 q e B = 3 oo 2 - > i > f 4 times. TRest! 4 times.

(2) Each exercise should be made as many times as indicated. It would be well that the teacher should execute it alone the first time, letting the pupil repeat it immediately. (@) Let the pupil hold each note as long as his breath will allow him, without fatigue, and let him rest for a measure, in silence,at all the rests indicated. 9593 6 Copyright, 1896, by G.
