L5 BY ALICE EVERSMAN, | DWIN HUGHES, widely known | pianist of New York, who each | month makes a trip to this city to conduct classes as guest | teacher at the Washington College of Music, hopes to found a school of American born and trained pianists who will challenge any supremacy felt by their European confreres. | Although the finishing touches of | his own planistic education were acquired in Europe, Hughes feels it is unnecessary for the American student to leave his country in order to seek a final polish under foreign masters. In America, in Washington, the broadening system of music education, | the inspirational contacts and the friendly interchange of ideas between | studeants—one of the constructive ele- | ments in European studios—can be | had under pleasanter and less ex- pensive circumstances than was the case a few years ago. Through his experience as teacher, | Hughes is convinced not only that| the best pianistic talent is to be found | in this country, but that, for the prob- lems and ambitions of the American | student, the American teacher has a more' complete understanding and sympathy. Taught for Leschetisky. To this patriotic ambition Hughes brings a background of training that | lends conviction to his ideas. For several years a pupil of the celebrated Josefly of New York, he left this master to continue his studies with the greatest teacher of the present era, Theodore Leschetisky, i Vienna. During his three-year stay with the famed pedagogue he not only formed & deep friendship with the artist, but became .his assistant teacher, prepar- ing the aspiring pupils in the funda- mentals of technique preliminary to| the final polish which was the spe- cialty of Leschetisky. In his classes could be found grad-) uates from the leading conservatories | of Europe, such as the Berlin Hoch- | schule for Music and the conservato- ries of Leipzig, Vienna, Munich and others, as well as students from Rus- sia, Poland, England. Rumania, Can- ada and the United States. Following this period of arduous | work with its splendid training in| developing every type of talent, | Hughes took up his residence in| Munich, from where, for four years, his concert engagements took him to every important music center of Eu- rope. On his return to America he continued his teaching and his pupils have been heard with the New York Philharmonic Symphony, the Sym- phony Orchestras of Detroit, Cleve- land, Minneapolis, St. Louis and the Havana Philharmonic in programs which featured all the major con- certos for plano and orchestra. ‘The principles of training which Like teeth For have made it possible for Hughes !o‘ produce artist pupils in proof of the | feasibility of an American school of pianists, coincide with the teaching | of the school in this city with which he is affiliated, the Washington Col- | lege of Music. In the president of | the college, Fanny Amstutz Roberts, | Hughes finds a collaborator of rare sympathy. Under her supervision, the | ordinary piano courses have been en- larged by the inclusion of repertoire classes which meet on Thursday eve- nings for the advanced pupils and on Friday afternoons for the students of the preparatory school. Students and teachers often have been faced with the need of oppor- tunities to perform in public. Through the obligatory years of purely teche| nical training, the student often ac- quires a prohibitive complex which may prove a barrier to a career if not overcome. Teachers may labor in vain to free the student from this menace by encouragement but in the end they realize that the only remedy | is to play in public as much as pos- | sible. A few such experlences and | the student has found himself, has| learned to judge the good and bad ! of his own performance and has dis- covered his own method of combating | the elements which place restraint on | the free giving out of his own ideas | in performance. Friendly Rivalry. At the college, an informal atmos- phere for the repertoire classes is en- couraged by Mrs. Roberts.

This year Hughes begins his fourth season as guest teacher at the college. Musicale System Old. Repertoire classes have often been the favorite manner of instruction of the great pianists who were also great teachers. Liszt, Von Beulow, Busoni encouraged their pupils to gather to- gether at musical evenings when each prepared something to play for the analysis of those present. Sometimes it was the same compositions given from the viewpoint of different indi- viduals or perhaps separate movements of the same work were intrusted to separate players. Hughes himselk took part in the class lessons of Leschetisky and gave an entertaining description of the excitement and the pleasure of these informal musi ington Teachers’ Association last Win- ter.
