STEADY REHEARSALS
| CHARACTERIZE WORK
OF CONCERT BAND"

1--WE have settled down to steady
rehearsals," said Lee B.. Nusbaum
director of the Richmond concert
band. which recently closed it's series
OF open-air concerts at Glen Miller.
Our endeavor is to increase and per-
feet high class repertoire this winter
and l am very much pleased with the
prospect for the ultimate success of
this program of work
OF course the public understands
that concerts on an open stand, as is
that at Glen Miller, are given at some
thing OF disadvantage to the music
ians, since sound does not harmonic
and coordinate in the open as it does
under cover. The persons, in in
stance, nearest the trombones will be
apt to think that the latter dominate,
while persons seated near some other
instruments will think the latter do.
But this necessarily follows presenta-
lions under such circumstances. We
were very much complimented by the
large audience that we always had
and think the attendance alone, is an
evidence of the appreciation of the
local public"
The fact that the Richmond Con.
cert band has been made some flatter
ing offers for next seasons chautau
qua engagements, is evidence of the
manner in which the bands achieve
ments are looked upon by the general
public.

.EARHART TEACHES
UNIVERSITY WORK
Creates High Standard of
Musical Scholarship at
Pittsburg Institution.

While the fact that Mr.. Will Ear
hart, former supervisor of music in
the Richmond public schools has made
a great record for himself as super
visor of music in the public schools
OF Pittsburg, it is not generally known
here that Mr.. Earhart is a member of
the faculty of the University of Pitts
burg and is creating a high standard
of musical scholarship in that institu-
ton.
Mrs. Lewis King, who recently re-
turned from Pittsburg, after complet-
ing the course of study now prescribed
by the university, says:
"Mr. Earhart with his usual thor
oughness is putting the course of
music in the university, which is in the
department of education at the col
lege, on a very high plane, and has
so entirely reorganized it that it Is
now regarded as the best of it's sort
that any educational institution of the
character of Pittsburg university has
to offer"
Miss Florence Shute and Miss Edna
Marlatt of this city also spent some
months recently in study under Mr..
Earhart in this institution.

One OF the interesting events OF the
coming week will be the opening of
the local musical season with con-
cert by the Music Study club in the
high school auditorium on Wednesday
evening, to which the public is in
vited.
Very few people realize the deter
mining influence of an organization of
the character of this club.
1t Is a factor in unifying musical
interest among scattered groups and
individuals and brings into positive
activity that element of the community
which, in the end, sustains genuine
musical culture.
Year after year it has met and pre-
sented weekly programs, sometimes
giving one of a more ambitious nature
in an evening recital, and has, in adj
dition, been instrumental in bringing
musical celebrities to the town.
