Teacher.

Coming to the teacher, the third
and last important part of this musical
compact, you should see to it that you
secure the services of one who is
thoroughly equipped by training, nat
ural endowment and experience to
carry the child through the various
stages of development necessary in
order to make him a good performer
He should be a man or woman of
good moral character as we'll as Of
sterling musical requirements. He
should be friendly and afable in man
ner, interesting and we'll informed in
general conversation, alive and ener-
getic about the development of the
charge given him, and an art enthu-
sIast.
He should teach all the auxiliary
branches OF the art, along with the
principal study. Theory, harmony,
biography, history, Technology, etc,
should be taught as far as necessary.
in order that the pupil become a
broad-minded, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

sionally, as many things can be learn
The Washington bee., 1911-02-11
Pupil.

The pupil, the second part of this
great union, should aim to respect and
obey the teachers every advice and
admOnition. You owe it to your pa
rents, teacher and yourself to do the
very best you can, at all times; so
doing, a great reward will await you.
Some lessons will be found more diff
cult than others, and should be studied
and praCticed with more earnestneSs,
II you desire to conquer the obstacles.
Do not spare the number of repeti-
tions you may have to make of a GER
tain passage IN order to perform it
ideally. Some passages require few
others many; while some
exact the most arduOuS practice i'm
in order to conquer the diff
culties. Seek to discover as many
facts as you possibly can about all
the lessons given you. Do not wait
for the teacher to tell you everything
you should know about the music art.
What you discover and learn for
yourself will be retained longer and
valued higher than that which is hand
ed you from your teachers lips. Do
not waste valuable time practicing
music that is entirely above your
stage of advancement and that the
teacher has not assigned you.
Practice slowly; count aloud, seeing
that the counts are even and regular;
accent properly and phrase according
to the marks of expression used.
After the lesson has been thoroughly
learned practice playing without
counting aloud, but see to it that the
tempo (time) is just as flawless as
though you were counting audibly,
Do not fail to ask questions about
points in your lessons that you may
not fully comprehend. The teacher
will not, as some pupils often think,
feel and think you are dull for so act
ing, but just the opposite-that you
are an intelligent, alive and interested
pupil. The wise man asks questions /;
the fool never. The little things in
your studies, as accidentals, pauses,
ties, slurs, hngerings, rhythm, accen-
tuation, meter, etc, should be observ-
ed carefully; otherwise the spirit of
The music may be lost The large
-hings are usually looked after, but
he small ones neglected.
Doing these things, and doing them
with heart and earnestness, you will
be richly rewarded by having the mu-
sical heavens open unto you her mani
fold treasures.

CHATS ON MUSIC AND MUSIC
STUDY,
(By J. Hillary Taylor)
The Relation of Parent, Pupil and
Teacher.
Parent
Parent.

If you want your children to love
home, make things interesting for them.
Good music IS one Of the greatest means
OF keeping them from evil influences.
BY all means give any of them mu-
slcal instruction who may show the
slightest desire or talent for a knowl-
edge of the art. What can you as
parents do to insure the rapid and
thorough progress of your children
IN music! Have you ever asked your
self this question: If not, let US be-
gin to think seriously about the mat
ter and see in what ways you can
be an inspiration and help to your
loved ones.
First, let me say that you should
have full confidence in the teachers
ability under whom you place your
child; secondly, see to it that all les
sons assigned are faithfully practiced
according to the teachers directions
(yOu should find out what these direc-
tlOns are); thirdly, have a set time for
the child to practice, and do not allow
it to be disturbed for frivolous rea-
sons. When convenient, it is best not
to have the piano in the parloT, but
IN a room where the pupil will not
be interrupted by visitors, whom you
are compelled to welcome whenever
they may call. Fourthly, see TO it
that the child is at the teachers
studio at the appointed time, and that
he carries all books and music that
may be necessary; filthy, let the
teacher do the teaching.
Do not force your ideas upon him.
If you have ideas or suggestions to
make, he will be only too pleased to
listen to them and will weigh your
advice for all it is worth. Sixthly,
pay all tuition and music bills on the
dates due, and, if for any unadvoid-
able reason, you cannot meet your
obligations, let the teacher know at
once, and he will adjust matters sat
isfactOrily. Seventh, make it your
duty to speak a good word for the
teacher whenever a chance presents
itself. You can aid him greatly in
the fight for a foothold and public
recognition.
The Washington bee., 1911-02-11

ed by so doing which he could not
gain knowledge of otherwise. Then,
the parents want to know and feel
that the teacher does not feel him
self above them. 1t is the teachers
duty to keep the parent informed as
to the progress of the pupil, and he
should often call On them to see that
his injunctions are carried out in re-
gard to practice, etc. The teacher
holds a great position of responsible
ity and should realize it by doing his
very best to make something of each
pupil intrusted to his care. To raise
in each pupil that personal power to
do for himself and become his own
best teacher should be the ideal aim
of every accomplished music teacher.

In the December Woman's

interesting talk on charity.

"One anecdote especially, reck-

terfold. It was that one told Of

and drunken wretch reeling
along the street, said with keen
wit and still keener charity to
his compassion, There, but for

Perhaps that does not seem
to you 50 striking an anecdote.
It did not seem 30 to me when l
first read II, but it came back to
me again and again, and each
time II enriched me. For again
and again, when / saw someone
dong what I would have consid-
cred beneath me to do; when /
saw someone . prey to some
weakness not mine, the gentle
tolerance of that great man
would point out to me that but

blessings, the leaser temptations

and over it came to me to re.

Il have heard good many
sermons on Charity, but this lit

life seems to me q better sermon
than them all. !"
