National Music
Head Pleads for
Musical Training

although America has more
musical instruments in her homes,
and American parents spend more
on the musical education of their
children than any country in the
world, there is no nation so back
ward and in 10 other country is
such bad music the popular fad"
said Mrs. Marx Oberndorfer OF
Chicago, chairman of the depart
ment of music of the general Fed
Grafton of Woman's clubs, speak
ing before the Davenport Woman's
club yesterday afternoon. She
went on to say she felt too much
emphasis could not be placed upon
the fact that in spite of the mar
velous wealth of music we have at
command, we are being led astray
by a purposeful group of vicious
foreigners who are putting out the
cheap, vile stuff regularly from a
place in New York and that 1T Is a
pitiable condition of things"
do you know, it seems a strange
commentary on the Woman's clubs
and Parent Teachers clubs efforts,
that the week of concerted country
wide better speech movement, the
best seller in music was Amt We
Got Fun
I'VE fail to consider music as be
ing a part of our daily lives. 1t is
apart from it. Until we teach our
children to look upon good music
as a part of the life, and make it of
real value in the days pleasures
we will never become really musl-
cal nation.
81 invariably have said to me
after lecture by some one: You
know l love music. But I'm not
musical at all That is an Amer
lean fallacy with which we have to
contender people seem to think
they have to play or sing or per-
form in some way to be musical.
Some of the most keenly artistic
people one knows are not eXecu-
tive. We have made fetish Of
technique so long we do not under
stand. l do not mean to say we do
not need technique. We do, but
not at the expense of love for mus

'In fact we must begin with the
love of music, and in the home to

II have had women say to me,
Il won't have a talking machine in
my house. explaining because of
the influence of cheap jazz and
dance music
We have operas in foreign
tongues and we have the popular
tunes, and naturally the young
people incline and take most kindly
to the lighter things they can pick
up themselves. But this is only the
greater reason why We should have
more music and better music in
the home, of a kind the children
can understand and appreciate and
assimilate."

Wpianist, who was here during the
" biennial, accompanied his wife to
the tri-cities and illustrated her
talk with some melodies explain
