Jack, >>John Curwen: "The Standard Course of Lessons and Exercises in the Tonic Sol-Fa Method", pub. J. Curwen & Sons, London & Philadelphia, 1858. I have the seventh edition, "Re-written, 1901". It's probably still in print, and turns up second-hand fairly often (though most copies were probably worn ragged and then thrown away by non-singer family members after the owner's death).
Thanks very much for the information. I'll watch for the book. I do see two copies at alibris.com, but they're in the $50-95 range. My guess is that I'll eventually locate one of the dog-eared copies you described, at a price I can afford. :-) Rudy Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
