ARMY MUSIC TO
BE ELEVATED TO
HIGH STANDARD

Misunderstanding music soon
will compare with that of the best
orchestras and bands of the coun-
try. Popular music will be supple
mented by the classical master
pieces and a superband and or
chestra will be created from army
musicians.
General Pershing already has
ordered the establishment here OF
the Army Music School and Walter
Damrosch, conductor of the New
York Symphony orchestra, has
pledged him assistance in work OF
organization. Both are determined
through the school to elevate music
in the army.
The object OF the school, as out
lined in the orders issued by Gen
eral Pershing, lis to give courses of
instruction in music, both prac-
teal and theoretical, elementary
and advanced. to student bands
men, to advanced instrumentalists
(Soloists), and to student-band
leaders, to standardize and perfect
band music. and to supply trained
personal therein to meet, as fully
as possible, the needs of the serv-
ice"
The first move to better army
music was made by General Per-
shing soon after he took over the
Office of chief of staff. One of his
first actions was TO transfer the
school from Fort Jay, New York, co
Washington and direct that it be
reorganized as super band, -
comparable only to the splendid
band which was organized in
France"
Washington, OF course" he said,
would be the only place suitable
for its organization"
These statements were contain
ed in an exchange of correspond
ence between the general and Mr.
Damrosch. The latter first was op-
posed to the removal of the SCHOOL
from New York. believing students
would have better advantages to
hear good music and study it in
New York than in Washington. He
later reconsidered and offered his
assistance in making the school all
that the general proposed.
