Family Singing to Be Taught
By Famous Choral Group

Schubert, Haydn, Bach
and Stephen Foster. Here, 500 per-
sons In groups of lbs will be en-
rolled. the first of the four Today
sing weeks" being inaugurated on
July 10. For the first, second and
fourth "sing week" the program will
be choral and instrumental music
from the earliest pre-classic masters
to Roger and Bruckner. A special
period from August 7 to August II
will be devoted to Catholic liturgical
music, especially the Gregorian
chant. There will be instruction
also individually and in groups in
recorder and spinet playing, folk
dancing and various handicrafts
with many recreational features sup
plementing the study.
The traditions of the Trapp family
are inherited from the Baroness
famous ancestors, the Rainer family.
This group of musical brothers and
sisters toured the United States in
1889 and following their appearances
many families, who formerly sang
for their pleasure only. turned to
the concert stage. The best remem-
bered of these singers, we're the
Baker, Buckley, Hutchinson and
Tremaine families. Even today, the
ballads sung by these groups can
be found at .Schirmer's with their
names inscribed.
Musical history records many cele-
brated families whose chief enioy-
ment was making music at home.
The Bach's, Scarlattis, Couperin's,
Mozart's, Mendelssohn's, and, of the
present day, the Menuhin's and
lturbis, have produced artists of
immortal fame whose early musical
efforts were first encouraged by
their families in the pleasant home
surroundings. The trend of the
times has practically obliterated
nome music making and the impetus
that may be given it by the instruc-
ton received under the Trapps can
bring results of great Importance in
the national music life.
