Preparing each section of carefully graded exercises in various keys with a detailed yet concise theoretical account the author offers a thorough preliminary training in time rhythm and pitch before proceeding to major and minor scales groupings of rests crotchets quavers semiquavers and triplets and chromatic notes within non-modulating melodies. The method includes the so-called French time-names and Solfa note-names for those wishing to use them.
