THE Student Recitals Valuable Aid to Young Musicians Numerous Recitals Held This Month Coincident With Closing of Scho in Planning M By Alice Eversman. HE month of June is devoted to the musicians of the fu- ture, and during these few weeks the attention is fo- cused on their talents, their prog- ress and the methods used to fit them into some artistic mold. The numerous student recitals bring them into the spotlight in their various stages of evolution and give the doting family anc ad- miring friends an opportunity to visualize the performer as a fu- ture artiste with the resounding applause which greets his today’s performance duplicated from a | wider and more important pub- lic. It also gives the rival aspirant & chance to envy or a chance to sniff and in either case to receive a spurring on to further endeavor, whether the impulse is noble or ignoble in origin. For the one whose eyes have not become myopic through affection or self- concentration and whose vision searches the far horizon. these reeitals of the month of June bring much to think about. There is, first of all, a feeling of enthusiasm for the amount of real talent that these recitals dis- close, with a sprinkling of dis- couragerhent at the hopelessness | of some of the other; that is,| #hopelessness as regards outstand ¥ing artistry, although good musi: cians they can become. There is| ‘astonishment at the variety of | roads that are followed on the| way to Rome, the sound resistance of many and the apparent ob- liviousness to the need of repair for some. There is wonder at the complacency that wraps up much of the musical efforts as in cello- phane substancs and admiration for the sincere and unyielding atiitude of others. Public appearances such as these try the metal of the stu-| dents. When one pauses to reflect | how far reaching the musical edu- cation of these students will be, ols Are Help to Pupils usical Futures. will discover if he has, in truth, something to give out to that crowded auditorium of complex personalities and if there is a joy to himself in adding a tiny mite to the contentment or comfort of his auditors. To the teacher, his own sincerity will stand re- | vealed and to what extent he has the gift of leadership. His re- sponsibility will be made mani- fest and, if he be honest with himself, the unceasing need of | study, of the scouring of his inner soul so that no dust or decay tar- nish the precious metal of which he is the treasury, will be not only {his duty but his pleasure. If this | question, “Am I doing all that I |can? Am I sure that I am right?” | be asked daily, with humility, by }mese makers of musicians, what !a race of artists could be evolved | and what a polish of glowing| beauty be given our national life. | ok oxox LBERT W.
