 Executiye Board Meeting.
 The executive board meetings are eeing more largely attended than ever this winter, and it is at these meet tngs that one gets an idea or tne ne xhe business methods that have be- come necessary to keep everything Sunning smoothly. It's req! m epi1ation to hear the reports of the various department chairmen dls- triet- chairmen and committees TO the president, much credit Is due for ystematizing the work in such way ahat while each department has It's separate work, yet in the end. al Woi 1ogsther as unit, striving to make Of Birmingham real music center Treble Clef Chorus.
 The Treble Cief chorus meets each Thursday morning a a:45 Cable Hall sThe chorus membership is limited to 50, and was filled before their first meeting.

 Junior Meeting.
 The regular meeting of the Junior club was held November 3. at CabIe Hall. 1:So p. m The subject was .-The Classical" illustrated by selec- tionsl from Beethoven, Mozart and Hayden. Lillian Winters was the leader and the musical numbers were given by MaMde Moore, Ruth, Gar rett and Mildred Pierce. followed ny a. elfghtfuI interpretative. dance by Hazel Pierce. These programs, in thenselves. are full of inspiration' and it is d pity that everyone eliGl ble to the Junior club does not taNe advantage of such an opportunity. Even; if there Is some reason they cannot attend the Artists Concerts, the membership for these meetings sionei would be we'll worth whfie. Parents are evidently not fully awake to the wonderful opportunity, the Music. club is offering their chil- dren this winter, for the response from the. Junior membership drive was most disappointing.
 The following letter was sent out che past week by the music teach- CTS. '
 you know there is one thing more important than the teacher, in the musical education of your child?
 This is the habit of attending as many fine concerts of all kinds as possible.
 A noted educator says:
 Music study should have as its ultimate aims, the ability to hear as well as to perform With lntelngence and discrimination.
 +'As with the cultivation of other arts a pupil should live in musical atmosphere. should listen frequently to musical performances, and should react upon them in his interpreta- fion of musical compositions co others.
 "A pupil plods through practice routine during many months. Then he attends a recital in, which great artist flashes his message to hun dreds of spell-bound auditors. He 1eturns home with an i- inspiration that is worth dozens of lessons, and that incites him to attack his music with determined vigor."
 We the music teachers of the city, urge our pupils to embrace every opportunity for hearing good music. Parents should recognize that purchasing tickets for the lead ing recitals and concerts is no less Important than the fee paid to the teacher--an equally proper and nee essary outlay of money for the edu- cation of the child.
 The Birmingham Music Study club is providing an unprecedented op- portunity--five Artists Concerts for $2 and s3.
 Besides the five Artists Concerts, students have the privilege of at tending the regular meetings of the Junior Music Study club, where pro- M rams of the highest order are pre- / sented twice each month. For those students under high school age, the juvenile district branches offer simi- iar advantages. It is urged that all students become juvenile members sofsthe Music Study club.
 Music .Teschers'- Association. rre.en, John Powell
 The Birmingham Music Teachers association is presenting John Pow ell, pianist, at 8 matinee December l. at Phillips auditorium. The prices - are, $1.00 and 50 cents. Think of be- ing able to hear John Powell for such a nominal fee, but this is made possible by the large seating capacity of the Phillips auditorium. It has , long been the dream of the Music Study club and the Music Teachers association, to present high class ar lists at a price within the heach of all. and having an auditorium with a large seating capacity makes this possible at last John Powell needs no introduction to Birmingham, for he won his way into the hearts of Birmin gham music lovers when he played with the Russian symphony Orchestra at the bienniel in 1917, and eAen later was presented by the Mu- afc Study club. Mir. Powell has reached a deserved position among the important pianists who dominate the attention of the public His achievements are noteworthy both in the field Of interpretive and creative % art. As a composer, Mir. Powell's in- spiration takes it's root in the soil of his native land; as for instance. in his Sonata Nirginianesque" for vio- lin, In the orchestral overture Tn Old Virginia" in the fascinati g suite for piano "At The Fair" and N.: ssD t,ox |, hi Ia
