PREFACE We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to our students and staff at the New School for Music Study who were the inspiration and proving ground for the new Music Tree series. In addition we express deep appreciation to teachers and students around the world, toa numerous to list here, whose experiences with former editions and suggestions for the new series have been invaluable.

Special thanks must be expressed to our colleagues who have devoted long hours to a study of the manuscripts in various phases of their preparation, especially to Mary Gae George, Roger Grove, John O'Brien, and Elvina Truman Pearce. Music from former editions that has proved best, both pedagogically and musically, has been retained in the new series; composers represented include Sarah Louise Dittenhaver, Jon George, Louise Goss, David Kraehenbuehl, John LaMontaine, Marion McArtor and Lynn Freeman Olson. A special paragraph must be devoted to our appreciation, admiration and affection for Jon George. The large quantity of exceptionai and delightful new music in The Music T.r_e~is the result of years of happy collaboration with him. Hehas worked endlessly to create music that combines the strictest pedagogical demands of this plan for musical growth with the highest musical standards. It is our hope that The Music Tree will provide for teachers the same high adventure in teaching we have experienced, and that students everywhere will share with our students the excitement of this new adventure in learning. Frances Clark and Louise Goss
