RW most important and the finest
VN of the arts Music is found
everywhere in nature, in the
wind, in the trees, in the canyons and
gorges, in the rushing Of the waters,
in the songs of the birds, in the break
ing Of the tides. Because it repre-
sents motion and life, it is more i'm
portant than architecture, painting or
sculpture Thoroughly it enters into
the daily life of civilized man. Ma
polcon once said, "Of all the liberal
arts, music has the greatest influence
over the emotions, and is the art to
which the lawmaker should give great
attention
Ability to read music and perform
well mechanically, is not knowledge OF
music. In fact the instrument is
mere incident The great composer,
Robert Schumann, was unable to per,
| form, owing to n serious detormity OF
his hand, and Bcrlloz, who composed
some OF the finest music written
| played ONLY n guitar. In much OF the
modern teaching the science Of music
ia not really taught and students pur.
sue course Of study along mechanical
| lines only, never giving serious stndy
TO harmony, musical form, analysis or
| counterpolnt.
That European teachers draw from
America millions of dollars yearly. Is
| n severe reflection upon the teaching
methods Of this country. Correct men.
tai habits and musicianly sense
should be cultivated by the pupil who
| is conscientious in the study of music.
While not neglecting finger technique
to develop flexibility and strength, nc
should be learning TO produce beaut-
full tones, and to develop hlS own power
of expression and his own defined ideas
He should take pleasure in being tamll-
lar with the best there is in music
with the great overtures. the great ora
torlos, the great mass music written
bv the masters, with the world s great
symphonies so that he will be able to
appreciate their beauty when he hears
them interpreted by an orc hestra::r
Music if properly studied Will be
found the medium through which the
soul pours forth its highest. grandest
aspirations and longings. If rightly
understood, it drives all feelings of dis
cord and worry from the heart Karl
Mcrz, the great teacher and scholar of
music, has said: "Ill nature and mu,
sic cannot exist together. for the heart
that comes under the spell of good mu.
sic is thereby made ready for kind
deeds
