system taught by Miss Weller teaches
them to feel and to "do" music as
we'll as to express. They learn TO
write and construct mmsical themes
as we'll as play them. Time, accent,
rythm, sound eye, ear and sight
training are given through exercises
that result in development of musi-
cal feeling before execution is enter
ed upon, but when they begin to
execute their progress is very rapid.
1t was surprising to the writer 20
find young children perfectly ia
miliar with all kinds of minors and
majors, naming them by ear, rem
|dering the major and minor scales,
harmonic minors, melodlc scales, and
a host of things a grown person
ignorant of music has no compre-
hension of whatever. The children
are taught the lives of the great com.
posers and begin with writing. a
book of music of their own. The
system seems predicated upon the
sound principle that all the music a
child knows is what II can demon
state and execute both mentally ani
musically. The Weller students will
give their first, recital in January.
