"Music as a Language: Lectures to Music Students" by Ethel Home is an educational publication written in the early 20th century. The book consists of a series of lectures intended for music students, emphasizing the importance of music as an expressive language that plays a vital role in general education. Ethel Home, serving as the headmistress of Kensington High School, provides insights into the training and teaching methods required for effectively imparting musical knowledge and skills to students. In this collection, Home covers a broad range of topics related to music education, including the training of music teachers, the organization of musical work in schools, and pedagogical techniques for teaching key concepts, such as ear-training, sight-singing, voice production, and elementary composition. She advocates for a structured approach to music education, drawing connections between music and self-expression, and encouraging educators to view music as an integral part of the overall curriculum. Throughout the lectures, Home emphasizes the necessity for teachers to foster a genuine appreciation and understanding of music among students, ultimately aiming to place musical education on the same level of importance as traditional subjects like grammar and geography.
