KINDERGARTEN METHODS in MUSIC
A UNDERSTANDING
STORIES SONGS.

One Of the most interesting and valu-
able applications of the kindergarten in
education has been in teaching music
By means of the application of the kin
dergarten idea, the difficulties are at
tackled one at time and illustrated by
games and songs. Being taught In a
class, each child stimulates the interest
Of the others. Each step in n:usical edu-
cation suitably illustrated, is compre-
hensible to child and it is the difficulty
and confusion of trying to use the eye in

sounds and the fingers on the keyboard.
simultaneously. that make the beginning
OF music study drtidgery and produce a
dislike of practice and careless methods.
Miss Isabel Kerr is the one musical
kindergarten in Minneapolis and she
has found the method most satisfactory.
The kindergarten course preceded work
at the piano, although the Instrument is
used in the Illustrations, and not even
the technique is omitted from the work,
There is no practice work, although the
kindergarten course may be used as a
supplement- of the usual instruction and
there are home exercises and games that
may be used. .-a< is- t-f -. .-.- 8
One of the chief merits claimed for the
kindergarten method is it's training in au-
dition and in cultivating the sense Of ac-
| tual bitch that is rare even in trained
musicians. The children learn to dis
tinguish each note wholly by its sound,
quite as naturally as by it's location on
the keyboard or in the written Scale.
A series of songs accompanied by finger
calisther.ics AT "a table teach control OF
| the muscles and correct use of the fingers
and the children quickly learn that the
piano SPEAKS according to the way we
touch it,

No child can fail to understand the
meaning of the values when given his

resents whole note. He quickly grasps

catches the difference in the rhythm. The
relation of the staff and the keyboard
and the use of both clefs is made clear by
means of charts that develop the sense Of

names Of the notes are taught-by means
of pretty colored disks bearing the let
ters..
The illustrative devices are clever and
valuable, but after all they are the skel-
eton only. 1t Is the stories, the songs
and the games that give beauty and form
to the whole and distinguish the methods

sounds, location, and especially melody
and rhythm is secured, while the atten-
ton Of the child is held and his magma

This is essentially a season of ribbons, and
the fashionable textures are those of the
soft and easily folded weaves-liberty satin,

NEW COIFFUREs BECOMING
Unlimited Variety Gives scope for
Individuality. o.

The varying styles of the couture bear
out fashions scheme for unlimited variety
and the privilege of using some individuality
in dress 1t is years since women have had SO
much freedom in their choice as to how the
hair should be dressed.
Dressing the hair low on the naDe OF the
neck is the latest style, of course, for evening
dress, but it is not followed unless it is be-
coming Short curls and Duffs are used in
some styles of coiffure but the one opportu-
nifty for variety is in hair ornaments. which
have no limit as to kinds and shapes. .s
You see the coronet Of flowers and the Juliet
crown cap of pearls in crossing strings, which
many young women find very becoming. This
is especially pretty with the hair dressed low,
but If it is puffed out all around the head
and arranged very fiat ON the CROWN the cap
may be worn just the same. !.
Coronet bands of imitation pearls are an
other fancy, and then again you see stlf
