EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and humorous musical composition written and composed by Arthur Lloyd in 1889. The cover of this sheet music captures a playful and lighthearted moment between a singing teacher, Charles Coborn, and his student. The image is a snapshot of the late Victorian era, with Coborn dressed in formal attire, holding a sheet of music with the treble clef notation for "Do Ra Mi Fa," while his student, likely a young man, is shown in a more casual outfit, with a surprised expression as Coborn kicks him playfully in the seat of his pants to demonstrate the correct pitch for the "fa" note. The title of the song, "A Singing Lesson," suggests a comic and entertaining situation, as Coborn employs an unconventional teaching method to help his student master the basics of music. The use of the treble clef and the notation "Do Ra Mi Fa" on the sheet music further emphasizes the educational aspect of the image, while the kicking gesture adds a touch of humor and lightness to the scene. The cover art also reflects the popularity of music as a form of entertainment during the late 1800s. The sheet music industry was thriving, and songs like "Do Ra Mi Fa" would have been played and sung in homes, social gatherings, and music halls. The image of a singing lesson also speaks to the importance of music education during this time, as well as the role of music in courtship and romance. Overall, the "Do Ra Mi Fa, A Singing Lesson" cover is a charming and engaging snapshot of music and entertainment in the late Victorian era.
