HIGHER EXAMINATIONS IN MUSIC. INFORMATION AS TO TEXT BOOKS. N.B. It is against the rule and practice of the College to adopt any particular Text Books in connection with the Examinations for Diplomas or other Higher Certificates in the Theory of Music. The titles of the following are merely mentioned in reply to inquiries as to the books most generally used by students in this country; and it must be distinctly understood by all candidates that the examination questions are not necessarily framed in accordance with the contents of any of the undermentioned works, or of any special system favoured by their authors. The only guide to the actual scope of the examinations may be found in the past examination papers for each grade (which may be had in a separate form of Mr. W. Reeves, 185 Fleet Street, E.C., or Messrs. A. Hammond & Co., 5 Vigo Street, W.), and in the published regulations of the College. The Candidate is entirely free to use any other text book, or individual system, recommended by his teacher, as the Candidate's work is judged purely on its own merits, and without reference to the system by which the result is attained.
