By Helen Fetter. HROUGHCUT the cutire country the movemest for the encourage- ment of Amcrican talent scems to have greater impetus this Fall than ever before. New, additional institutions have sprung into existence, cach with a corps of famous musical artists as heads of the various departments, to give proper instruction and give cach young American student the best chance under the best conditions to prove his or her talent and develop it. More scholarships and fellowships arc an- nounced than in previous years. In Stony Point, on the Hudson, the Ameri- can Institute of Operatic Art will have the corner stones of several prin- cipal buildings laid Thursday, the first having been laid by Otto Kahn, usic patron, last August. Max Rabinoff, director of the institute, prom- 1ses that trials for positions in his practical company rehearsi Americans with operatic voices, but no experience, will be held next May, and in the meantime the dormitorics named for Lillian Nordica and David Bispham. famous American singers. are being built In Philadelphia the new Cu Institute of Music its month to many voung students who have proved that they have fundamental ability. In New York the Juilliard Foundation and other similar institutions are “carrying on” likewisc Washington is proud of Winiired Michaelson, the young pianist, who gees as the Capital's representative Tu y of this week to begin work under one of the three pianists who teach the young Amcricans winning Tuilliard fellowships. She will study with Ernest Hutcheson, Olga Samar- off or Joset Lhevinne, the decision being made according o the schedules of these artists to be announced during the coming week. W-\bl}lxul'(?.\' has never had a bigger or wider program of musical inferest than that which faces the music lover this season. There are now four full-fledged professional music bureaus established where but two grew before, and cach of these four has a bigger and better list than in previous years, The group, of f in this city this year i ger than ever, amous artists to make their initial bows and, more important, the num- ber of young Amcricans who will bid for favor and reccgnition in the season's concert ‘lists is also large It is peculiarly fitting that John open_the season with his big band Wednesday afternoon and evening, for it is planucd that the season be closed in May with a huge jestival involving the outstanding music talent of the city, in which the three big service bands will undoubtedly play an important part. In Mr. Sousa’s matince program Wednesday the intermission period will be de- voted to the playing of that great band leader's “High School Cadets March,” written nearly half a century ago, when Mr. Sousa was not so far beyond the high school age himseli—to be played by the united high school bands of Washington under Mr. Sousa’s leadership. In the eye- ning program the “March King” will lead the Shrine Band in the playing of his “Nobles of the Mystic Shrine March” in a similar interval. ¥ k kK VER at the Congressional Library, in the new little auditorium, neces- rily limited in seating capacity and high in ideals musically, Mrs. . Coolidge’s chamber music festival will be held the end of this month. American composers and performers will be largely represented on these programs and on others to be given from time to time in that auditorium. The establishment of this “temple of music,” formerly of South Moun- iin, in the Berkshire Hills, in Washingten brings a new and very signifi- cant note into the music life of the Capital C SeacEe NOTHER angle to the musical season this year that is being developed extensivel; 1 promises to give forth unique and marvelous m ies is the performing of Pan-American music at the beautiful Pan-Ameri- can Union Building under the auspices of Franklin Adams. One advan- tage of many of these programs is that they can be broadcast and en- joved by the general public. The music for these programs should provide local singers and musicians with many new and coloriul additions to their recital repertoires. Music is the one universal language, and the United States Army Band has been one outstanding organization of this city that has begun a fine pioneer work in giving the people of the United States an acquaintance with the melodies of other American countries Of particular interest to Washingtonia practically all of the 21 countrics of Central and South America whose music is played and sung on these programs maintain pational schools of music. It is the great hope of Washington to have the National Con- servatory of Music of the United States located h These other Ameri- can countries not only have such instituti t have them soundly financed and operated by the governmer those countries. Excep- tionaily talented pupils are given scholarships to the conservatories of Europe and competitions are held where large prizes are ofiered to the composer who writes the best music during a given period. The Army Band has several of these prize-winning compositions in its repertoire at che present time. LTHOUGH Walter Damrosch has had to give up his delightful ex- planatory recitals on orchestral music held for a number of years so successfully in the Central High School auditorium under the supervision of the Washington Society of Fine Arts, the public who found those pro- grams so enlightening as well as entertaining will not have to forego such recitals completely. Horace Alwyne, it scems, who came here last vear to give similar recitals, using his piano for illustrative material, on the programs played by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestr, will cxplanatory recital of each of the New York Symphony's four programs this Winter on the Thursday preceding the Tuesday of the concert. Mr. Alw is the head of the music division at Bryn Mawr College, where he scems to be doing a fine work establishing music appreciation as well as encoura talent in one of the foremost of the girls' colleges of the countrs It is easy to realize the vast scope of appreciation that may be cov- ered in such a recital by one equipped to give this type of entertainment convincingly. So many people in this country have unfortunately been allowed by non-musical parents to grow to adulthood with practi musical education that a symphony concert is to them, without such preliminary recital or program notes written in simple terms, what the average motion picture would be without subtitles—only more so. It « easy to guess from many of the standardized postures and expressions of motion picture actors what the next move will be in the plot, and even the eventual outcome. In almost any symphony there are many passages s0 subtly constructed by a master composer that the musically untrained car is completely out of tune to the story theygwould tell and thus de- velops the non-comprehension that so easily becomes boredom. N opera, too, Washington is to have a plentiful supply. Civic Opera Company has four performances scheduled—two with the beautcous Mary Garden and some great operatic artists not heard here previously in other lcading roles. The Washington Opera Company an- ¢ nounces an ambitious season of seven grand operas, possibly one American, and two at least featuring the great Chaliapi Then_the company even hints of a well knit list of light operas for the late Spring. The Wash- ingtonians are rumorcd to be tuning up on Gounod’s “Faust” for early production and probably other operatic performances. William Wade Hinshaw's charming though small operatic company will bring two operas in English here. One, the Donizetti “Elixir of Love,” will be performed in the middle of the current month a All in_all, any one in Washington who does not get an carful of good music during the scason must be as deai as the proverbial stone post.

Athey, head of piano instruc- | tion and specialist in music appreci- ation in the public schools, the chil- dren of the District of Columbia are being offered exceptional and prac- tical opportunities to learn to study and appreciate music at a very low and under the most favorable possible conditions. Beginning.on the twelfth of this month, the music de- partment of the schools will reopen classes in orchestral instruments and plano. This activity is solely for the purpose of making possible the begin- ning of musical education for pupils who otherwise might not be able to undertake the study. The plan is on a financial basis that will sustain the work but not give any profit. These classes do not offer competition to private music teachers, but co operation. Classes in orchestral instruments are under the direction of Mrs. Ward, who has been with the public schools here for several of the 10'years in which she has made Washington her home. Previously to coming here, Mrs. Ward was in charge of commun- ity center music in Rochester, N. Y. She studled the violin under Mr. Davidson of Buffalo and developed an orchestra of 30 pieces in her native town. Later she attended special music classes in the University of Wisconsin and played in a string quartet there. Miss Athey. a native of Alexandria, but a Washingtonian in training. schooling and residénce for vears, has been intimately ciated with work in the ~schools here for more than 10 years. She studied normal work under Alys Bentley, Willlam L. Tomlins and Dr. Hamlin Cogswell. At the Washington College of Music Miss Athey pre- pared for a position as supervisor of music education and she has a certifi- cate_of the “Melody Way” institute of Dr. Miessmeer's organization in Milwaukee. Classes in orchestral instruments are for pupils from fifth to eighth grades, | for inclusive; and junior and senior high ‘hools. They are for beginner those who have studied for less than two v instru- mental cla: is not_de. signed for pupils who have studied under a_private teacher within the Iast six months. Besides the plano, instruments taught in regular classes include the violin, cello, cornet, trombone, clari- net, saxophone, flute and drum. Classes in other instruments will' be formed if the registration justifies the employment of Instructors. There must be 13 enrolled in any school building to study one orchestral in- strument or 15 forplano for a class to meet in that building. Cla: will be held at school centers as con veniently located as possible., Parents or gu must _enroll students for thes: es by signing registration blanks and returning them to the public school building principals not later than tomorrow. No registrations will be accepted later than October 12. Pupils enrolled for school classes last vear may register provided they are rot, at the time of registration, studying with s teacher. The full course is 60 lessons, covering tw ears, of school terms, each year divided into 15 lessons for each half of the school year. The charge for a term of 15 less payable at the first lesson of eve term. The piano classes include chil- dren in the fourth grade, as well as the higher grades and high school classes. Each pupil must purchase his own instrument. In the case of a piano student, he must have a piano in his home or available for regular practice. The instructors of these classes are chosen from outside the regular public school corps and their work is supervised by Mrs. Ward and Miss Athey. Classes will be held once a week after school hours, beginning at 3:05 and lasting 45 minutes. formerly held at the Thomson after school hours will meet on Satur- day mornings between 9 and 12. Classes will not meet on holidays or days when pupils are excused after one session because of bad weather. SPRING MUSIC FESTIVAL HERE INDORSED The plan for a nationa is one that deserves general suppor broadcast the music festiv BY A. F. OF LABOR musjc week in Washington next Spring Now that we have the radio to 1 to all parts of the counry, it will be pos- sible to have the Nation share in the very special music that only a national center could provide. As a nation we need opportunities for all to do the same thing at the same time. We need these opportunities in order to sense the reality of national unity. Too long we have let war have practically a monopoly of such opportunities. We need to give thought to the deliberate development of activities through which we can appreciate the power of national unity as associated in expres- sion of the nobler creative qualities of mankind. « Music is a universal language that helps us to express the things that lie too deep for words. It is the medium through which we find unity with the beauty and the mystery of life. It reaches down into the depths of man and floats out into the spaces that escape our reach and vision and draw us far into the eternal. To establish the custom of a national music week would constitute real progress. It could be made a festal week of great beauty and up- ‘ft spiritually.—Americap Federationist. 5 1925—PART 3.
