Boice, chairman, at 57 West Scventy-fifth street, New York City. Y There are probably more teachers of voice are of several other subjects put together. As far the piano undoubtedly runs the voice the closest second place, but even it is a considerable distance in the background. Almost anybody who has a fair speaking voice and can carry a simple melody aspires at one time or another in the period of a natural lifetime to be a singer. The voice is the one musical instrument that does not have to be pur- chased. Unfortunately. Jso is the one musical instrument that, once ruined, is ruined forever and cannot be restored or replaced by another instrument. Therein lies the great responsibility that is in the hands of the vocal teacher red Human. cditor of the magazine devoted espe- cially to this art has stated that statistics show that there are about 600,000 vocal pupils in America alone, and about 25000 vocal teach- ers, perhaps three-fo :s of whom are women. Dr. Frank Damrosch of the Institute of Musica praised woman tcachers very much, espe- cially fauding the careful, systematic building of a voice by a capable woman teacher. “Women hav ide importa in recital by in the world than there as music is concerned, P a pe 1 ud instinctive sense of detail to dig out the gold. and it is they who realize, as men do not, that girl singers can be reached more quickly by demonstration than by explanation,” said Dr. Damrosch. adding. °1 believe. however, that the time comes when man, by the very ue of his virility, can command more in the inte pretative side, and then is the time for really good students to go to an artist-musician for the finishing touches. This <o merely because women thus far have not gone in for artist-musicianship. * s “The: mechanics of voice building are not sufficient to constitute a goal, for thc voice is, after all, merely the tool. It is the capacity for scli-expression that makes the artist. Members oi this guild should teach the incipient artist to stand on his own feet. It is not enough to send a pupil out with a few arias and songs. He must learn to dig into the greater works Ak Skt ok B rere, there are many who hang out shingles and annou 5! to train young voices how they rothing more. Usually the ailu House decorate the background of the mental picture heheld by the ambi- tious youngster who goes to one of these instructors in the Fall, and the die is cast for another song recital the following Spring when the young- ster will attempt “Un bel Di” or “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice,” or the Pagliacci “Prolog.” or “The Sob S depending on the voice qua There are this fair city some individuals who are real mu as well as being giited with the intangible art of the real teacher. There is one lady, for instance, who has studicd carefuliy the details of several foreign languages and how they may best be taught the student who ha practically no linguistic background. She also has carefully noted the ldeas of great song composers as to proper interpretation of their works She knows the cadenzas that famous singers have used in place of ordinary passages in classics of song literature. And she knows many other things that pertain both to the technical and intelligent sides of this art, as well as the adaptability of cach pupil for absorbing what she can give There sther teacher located here, a man who has a reputation quite as firmly established in New York as any of the so-called big teachers there, who is constantly in touch with foreign conservatories and docs not put his pupils in recitals until their knowledge and achievement war- rant making the public stop, look and listen Still another man has an individual ability to instruct choral groups for motet work. Another toured with a great opera singer and has ideas to impart to those who would take up practical work in operatic train- ing. And there are others, several of whom are avowedly the local inter- preters of what are irequently designated as master methods established by well known individuals who have headquarters in New York or Chicago. It would be a fine thing for the local teachers to get together for just such a confab among themselves, especially the exchange of new ideas and for a joint recital, cach teacher being represented by one pupil. It would be a real test of broadmindedness, a quality that all pedagogs need to cultivate, for, in working by themselves, they are inclined to get into ruts and narrow habits much more quickly than people in other occupa- tions which demand more general contact with one’s fellows and constant adapting and compromising both of individual opinions and of practical carry-out of business. atience ashington. as clsew nce to the world at large that they consider themselves competent hould go to hecome good radio artists. if g draperies of the Metropolitan Opera arin * %k K Ok esident of the New York City Gui . ; the vice president is Florence Turner-Maley; the secretary is Janet Hedden; the rccording secretary is Henrictta Speke-Seeley, and the chairman of the membership committee is Harriet Behnee.

Mr. Byrd said that “(1) Singing is a knowledge easily taught and quickly learned, where there is a 0od master and an apt scholler; (2) the excrcise of singing is delightful to nature, and good to preserve the health of man; (3) it doth strengthen all parts of the brest, and doth open the windpipes; (4) it is a singular good remedie for a stutting and stammering in the speech; (5) it is the best means to procure a perfect pronunciation and to make a good orator; (6) it is the only way to know where nature hath bestowed a good voyce, which guift is so rare, as there is not onc among a thousand that hath it and in many that excellent guift is lost because they want art to express nature; (7) there is not any musicke of instruments whatsotver com- parable to that which is 'made of the voyces of men, where the voyces arc good, and the samec well sorted and ordered; (8) the better the voyce is, the meeter it is to honor and serve God therewith, and the voyce of ‘man is chiefly to be employed to that end. Qmnis Spritiug laudet Dominum. Since snmng {8 80 kood & thin 1'wish all men would learne to sing."” * k 3k X NOTHER much more recent comment on singers and singing offered by one who should be an authority, Emilio de Gogorza, artist-bari- tone, who is associated with Mme. Marcella Sembrich in the teaching of voice in the Curtis Institute of Music, gives special.emphasis to the quali- ties that many American would-be singers lack. Says Mr. Gogorza: “The thing Americans will not devote to art is time. To wait, to study, to comprehend and to feel—these are the requirements for a last- ing success. 1 know of singers who, without knowledge of foreign lan- guages, are required to learn their operatic roles phonetically and to go into rehearsal in a week. It takes a lifetime to learn to sing French cor- rectly. But now, instead of mastering 10 or ‘15 roles thoroughly, the sing- ers have tremendous repertoires, only half-learned and half-understood. Operatic dishwashers—that is all these singers are! “There is no reason why America should not produce great singers from the blend of nationalities that people the country, but your people are humorous and seli-conscious; they fcel ‘silly’ when ‘letting them- selves go.'” WHILE on the subject of the voice, it would seem fitting to mention two bits of choral music news that have been received by the writer of this column within the past few days. Martin H. Hanson, manager of ,\he ‘Westminster Choir of Dayton. Ohio, announces that the Pittsburgh Presbytery Junior Association decided last week to present the choir an- nually and has leased Carnegic Hall for November 12. The choir was indorsed by the Rev. Hugh Thompson Kerr, the Rev. Ralph Merker and Dr. Charles H. Boyd, famous choirmaster. This choir was a leading fea- ture of the music season herc last year, and it is rumored that it will sing in Washington again next year. The other choral news is strictly local and suggests the possibility of big things in Washington if the plan as proposed receives the co-opera- tion it would seem to meri Many of the members of the former Wrightson Chorus, organized and conducted successfully for many years under the late Sidney Wright- son, have expressed a desire to help any effort to present a i‘;ig choral work at Christmas. With the encouragement of such suggestions and the enthusiasm expressed by the members of his own choir, R. Deane Shure, director of music at Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church South, and of music at American University, is planning to present Handel's big choral work, “The Messiah" next Christmastide. Witih the wisdom of an ex- perienced musician, Mr. Shure is planning his initial rehearsals now—the preceding June—beginning last Friday night. With his own chorus of 100 as & foundation he hopes to build up to at least 200 for the first presenta. tion, and, if the plan is successful, will prepare yeate - upils, constituta part by the people who ted. 5 Tocal fund for studente. o sponsored by 10 the guild. 00 musical knowledze. * ok k% NGTON, D.
