Wednesday evening with an intimate
recital and reception at the studios
in the National Press Building. Grace

distinction as vocal teacher as well
as a professional singer. For many
years she conducted vocal classes at
the Chicago Piano College, where she
served as a member of the Advisory
Board.
One of the most difficult tasks of
the vocal teacher is the inability Of
the student to hear his own mistakes.
The modern method Of teaching has
overcome this by frequent recordings
of the students voice, which permits
the student to hear his own voice as
others hear it. From these recordings
the pupil may from time to time note
the progress that he has made.
The microphone work is under the
direction of Lewis Windmuller, direc-
tor of the National Recording Studios.
Mr.. Windmuller has directed the pro-
duction of numerous radio programs,
including a series of 15-minute
sketches produced by the office OF
education of the Department of the
