The sixth of the ascending scale in the melodic form will of course be the same in the minor as in the major.

The first of these concerns the rather complicated time notation of all but the first sets of exercises.
These quiet words were Greek to Myra, conveying no more to her mind than if Jane had said: "I have been learning Tonic sol-fa." In fact, not quite so much, seeing that Lady Ingleby had herself once tried to master the Tonic sol-fa system in order to instruct her men and maids in part-singing. It was at a time when she owned a distinctly musical household.
Later on they will learn that these notes often introduce modulations to the dominant, subdominant, and relative minor keys respectively. Instruction in sight-singing should begin by teaching the staff notation through the Tonic Sol-fa method.
