The Practically OF Music as a
Means OF Self-Expression" was the
subject OF a lecture given by Mrs
Evelyn Fletcher-Copp last Wednes.
day evening at the King Smith stu
dios. Mrs. Copp is conducting a sum-
mer normal course OF lectures at the
school. using the Fletcher music
method, which was introduced in
America in 1895. under the auspices
OF George w. Chadwick. director of
the New England Conservatory of
Music. During the past Swenty-six
yearssthese methods have Become in
creasingly adopted by the teaching
profession and have won favorable
comment from many psychologists. as
we'll as those primarily interested in
the progress of music in this country.
A number of years ago DIR. Lyman
Abbot is quoted as saying of the
method:
1t Is more than a method. it is a
revolution, and converts music study
from a mere mechanical drill and
drudgery into an inspiration and a
life"
Mrs Copp played a number OF
charming compositions. written by
children, the other night, and she
pointed out that. as the greater must
always be capable of containing the
less. no one in the audience must GO
away with the idea that to learn TO
express himself took anything from
childs ability to- appreciate the
compositions of the great masters.
