INTRODUCTIONThis book is written and designed for a beginner who will be able to teach him/herself how to play a recorder and understand some theories of music with ease. Again, this book will be of a great help to students in understanding the practical aspects of music both at the primary and secondary school levels. These days, compositions have become a difficult task amidst the choir such that having their own copyright to musical compositions have become rare, rather songs from unknown sources are embraced. For this reason, church music has become less spiritual (1Cor.14:15b).However, this book will enhance the composing and singing abilities of choir in our various churches. It will also help them to sight sing lots of great gospel songs and hymns with tonic sol-fa. Churches are advised to recommend this book for their choir. In conclusion, this book contains lots of practical works that are playable with any other musical instrument, like saxophone, trumpet, piano, guitar, clarinet, flute, violin e.t.c. Therefore, parents are requested to encourage their children by buying them the book (The Recorder's Book for Easy Learning with great gospel songs & hymns' tonic sol-fa) and any musical instrument of their choice, apart from the recorder which the book centers on. This will indeed help them to showcase their God-given talents.

Music and Victorian Philanthropy

ISBN: 9780521449687

Providing a fresh approach to the social history of the Victorian era, this book examines the history and development of the tonic sol-fa sight-singing system, and its impact on British society. Instead of focusing on the popular classical music canon, McGuire combines musicology, social history and theology to investigate the perceived power of music within the Victorian era. Through case studies on temperance, missionaries, and women's suffrage, the book traces how John Curwen and his son transformed Sarah Glover's sight-singing notation from a strictly local phenomenon into an internationally-used system. They built an infrastructure that promoted its use within Great Britain and beyond, to British colonies and other lands experiencing British influence, such as India, South Africa, and especially Madagascar. McGuire demonstrates how tonic sol-fa was believed to be of importance beyond music education - that music could improve the morals of individual singers and listeners, thus transforming society.
