nifty Group Developed in
Washington First.

The music editor OF The Herald
has been favored with a copy Of
u booklet, entitled Community
Music" published by Community
Service, Incorporated. Its valuable
pages carry suggestions for devei-
oping community singing. choruses.
orchestrss and other forms of COM
. munity music.
In a letter accompanying the book.
Kenneth S. Clark. OF the Bureau Of
! Community Music, states that the
plan for organizing a community
chorus with the unit syetem. which
was first developed in Washington.
was carried out successfully az
, Birmingham later. The practical
bility Of the plan has been Indicate
by the fact that the chorus in Wash
ington has been kept prospering by
Charles S. wengerd, while the Birm-
ingham chorus is being carried on
by Gordon Erickson.
/ One Of the important subjects
outlined in this book is that OF the
music memory contests. This has
proven one Of the best devices for
fsmiliarizing people with musical
masterpieces and making good
listeners OF them. The idea of hav-
ing a music memory contest origt-
mated about five years ago in fhe
small suburban town Of Westfield.
y. j. and was instigated by the
music supervisor of that town. He
conceived the plan OF giving the
children in the schools listening
lessons by choosing a number OF
compositions which were played on
the phonograph and player-piano.
At the end of a stated time a
contest was held in the Town Hafs
at which twenty Of the selections
were played. No programs were dis
tributed, and the children were
asked to write the name Of the com
position and the composition as each
was played. The winner OF the con-
test WAS awarded a prize.
Other subjects discussed with in
terest are: Organizing a Commu-
nifty for the Development OF Commu-
nifty Music" The Program" Train
ing Schools for Volunteer Song
Leaders" Song Leading" The Sc
lection Of Songs. Song Sheets and
