Excerpt from Teacher's Manual, Vol. 1: For First, Second, and Third Grades; With Accompaniments for Book One and Additional Note Songs, Folk Dances and Singing Games; The Progressive Music Series The music material comprises the best that could be found in the libraries of America and Europe; original songs written by many of the foremost liv ing composers; and characteristic folk songs, many of which were obtained from sources hitherto unavailable. In selecting the music for the series, the first concern of the editors was to assemble only songs of unquestioned merit from the standpoint of real musical worth. These approved songs, whether original or otherwise, were then classified With reference to their technical features and assigned to their appropriate places in the course. This plan assures that all the material of the series Whether illustrating a technical problem or presented for recreational singing comprises only songs of un questioned cultural value. In the case of original contributions, the primary object was to obtain an unrestrained expression of the composer's individuality. Genuine interest in the series and complete cooperation on the part of the composer were se cured through personal interviews. As a result the series is able to offer a large number of beautiful and original songs by eminent composers songs which represent the composer at his best and give free expression to his indi vidual style and manner.
