THE MUSIC TEACHER. The pupil will observe, that from any letter to the same made flat or sharp, the interval is a chromatic one; and from any letter to the next above or below in the chromatic scale, the interval is a chromatic second. QUET1(oN.-What is the interval from C to C# (sharp)T C$ to D, &c.? C to B descending? Ittolb(fhat)? B2toA? AtoA ,&c.? Commence the practice of the chromatic scale something in the follow- ing manner-the class sing one, after which the teacher sings sharp one, the class imitating him. Then two, sharp two, &c. REMARK.-For the future the class should devote a short time, each lesson, to the practice of this scale. The influence of a sharp or flat extends from measure to measure, until a note intervenes which is on a different degree from that before which it is placed.* A NATURAL (4) is used to contradict or take away the power of a flat or sharp. V After a sharped tone the ear naturally expects the next above, but after aflatted tone the next below.
