Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Acoustics (Curwen's Edition, 5005;): For the Use of Musical Students The cause of the sensation sound, is motion. A musical sound is one which remains steadily at a definite pitch. A musical sound originates in the periodic motion of some body. A periodic or regular vibratory motion will always give rise to a musical sound, if the vibrations recur with sufficient, but not too great rapidity, and provided they are extensive enough.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Acoustics (Curwen's Edition, 5005;): For the Use of Musical Students Although many works on the subject of Acoustics have been written for the use of musical students, the author of this book has not met with one which gives, in an elementary form, more than a partial view of the science. Thus, there are several admirable treatises on the purely physical and experimental part, but most if not all of them stop short just when the subject begins to be of especial interest to the student of music. On the other hand, there are many excellent works, which treat. of the bearings of purely acoustical phenomena on the science and art of music, but which presuppose a knowledge of such phenomena and their causes on the part of the reader. Thus the ordinary musical student, who can probably give but a limited amount of time to this part of his studies, is at the disadvantage of having to master several works, each probably written in a totally different style, and possibly not all agreeing perfectly with one another as to details. This disadvantage has been felt by the author, in his classes for some years past, and the present work has been written with the object of furnishing to the student, as far as is possible in an elementary work, a complete view of Acoustical science and its bearings on the art of music.

Book excerpt: TEACHERS of Music have often unusual difficulties to contend with. The artist who had to instruct colour-blind students in the rudiments of painting could hardly expect results of an altogether satisfactory nature. But tone-deafness is probably a more common infirmity than colour-blindness. We have been surprised to find that young ladies, accustomed to play their parents to sleep after dinner, have been unable to tell us which was the higher of two notes, successively struck on the piano or pezzicatoed on the violin, when these notes were separated by an interval of a major third, or even, in some cases, of a fifth. Such pupils are by no means uncommon; and, though they may attain to a mechanical proficiency on the pianoforte, all niceties of sound-modulation must be to them a matter of faith. To those, however, who possess a delicate ear, and take an interest in, as well as extract enjoyment from Music, we can recommend the perusal of Mr. Harris's little volume. And to all those who teach or really study music we go further, and recommend its mastery. In the introductory chapter, "On the Origin of a Musical Sound," we see at once that Mr. Harris does not intend us to rest content with taking things for granted, but that his basis is experimental; and throughout the work experiment and illustration help us at every turn. The first seven chapters deal with simple tones, the mode of their transmission, their pitch, melodic relations, and intensity; with the auditory apparatus that receives them, and their sympathetic relations arising out of co-vibration. The next chapter introduces us to quality or timbre, which is clearly shown to depend upon the number, order, and relative intensities of the constituent partials, or the modification of the fundamental tone by overtones. The influence of partials, and their nature, in the several types of musical instruments are carefully traced; after which a chapter is devoted to "combination tones." "When two musical tones are sounded together, new tones are often heard, which cannot be detected when either of the two tones is sounded by itself. For example: press down the keys corresponding to the notes C2 and A1 on the harmonium, and blow vigorously. On listening attentively a (deeper) tone may usually be heard nearly coinciding with F1, which will not be heard at all when either of the two notes above is separately sounded." Here, as elsewhere throughout his book, Mr. Harris shows, and acknowledges, his indebtedness to Holmholtz. The phenomena of interference, treated in the next chapter, leads us on to new results—to beats, and to dissonance as resulting therefrom. Consonant intervals and their relative harmoniousness then pave the way for a consideration of chords, and fairly land us at the threshold of Music proper. The causes of the consonance and dissonance of chords are well explained; but we doubt whether any scientific explanation, invaluable as we hold such explanation to be, will weaken the force of Browning's words in Abt Vogler:— "And I know not if, save in this, such gift be allowed to man, That out of three sounds he form, not a fourth sound, but a star. Consider it well: each tone of our scale in itself is nought; It is everywhere in the world—loud, soft, and all is said: Give it to me to use! I mix it with two in my thought, And, there! Ye have heard and seen: consider and bow the head!" A final chapter deals with the tempered scale. The whole scheme of the book is well thought out. A summary is given at the end of each chapter. Questions and examination papers form a valuable appendix. — Journal of Education, Volume 9

Book excerpt: Home Education is a groundbreaking exploration into the art of cultivating a rich and vibrant learning environment within the confines of one's home. Mason, a visionary educator, lays out a compelling philosophy that transcends traditional schooling methods, focusing on the holistic development of a child's mind, character, and habits. Through the lens of living books, nature study, and a thoughtful approach to discipline, Mason offers a refreshing perspective that empowers parents to provide an education that is not only intellectually rigorous but also fosters a love for learning. In this timeless work, Mason provides practical insights into the daily rhythms of home education, emphasizing the importance of cultivating an atmosphere of curiosity and wonder. She advocates for the use of living books—engaging and narrative-rich texts that ignite a child's imagination and create a genuine connection to the subjects studied. Additionally, Mason encourages the integration of nature into the learning experience, promoting outdoor exploration and observation as essential elements of a well-rounded education. Home Education serves as a guide for parents seeking an alternative, more personalized approach to education that goes beyond rote memorization and standardized testing. Charlotte Mason's philosophy, outlined with clarity and conviction, resonates with those who aspire to nurture not only academically proficient individuals but also compassionate, well-rounded human beings. This book is a compelling resource for anyone looking to embark on a transformative journey in home-based learning.
