The National Youth Administration
Philadelphia Negro Mixed Chorus was
organized on April 6, 1896, under the
direction of DR.. W. Franklin Hoxter
More than so Negro youth, between the
ages of Is and Is who were eligible
for NYA part time employment and
who expressed an interest in music
were assigned to the project. Some OF
them had previous experience in voice
culture, however, the majority of their
were unframed but wanted the oppor
tunity to learn to express themselves 10
song.
AS a first step, the group was en-
couraged to suggest to the director the
songs they wished to sing and to make
lup their own programs From the ma
! terial a schedule of songs was made and
lessons in sight reading were begun to
teach the youth to recognize tunes. Then
followed vocal exercises to improve both
| tone and control of the voice In short
| time the group was able to do three
and four part singing of simple songs
classes n music appreciation, History
,of Music and English were gradually
added, with some of the youth advan.
cling to the point where they requested
courses in Harmony and Composition
and individual training for solo public
performances,
| The purposes for the organization of
the Choral Project were as follows:
l. To give the youth an opportunity
to learn something worthwhile about
the kind of music that best meets his
ineeds, that makes for better citizenship.
and better community relations
2. To discover and encourage youth
with unusual musical talent and help
them equip themselves for employment
in the entertainment industry.
This special broadcast is under the
general supervision of Mrs. Nell Hunter
who has distinguished record in the
field of choral music and who is choral
lconsultant to the National Youth Admi-
Inistratpn. Mrs Hunter has arranged
four OF the numbers which are 70 BE-
included on the May II program.
