The Daily British Whig PAGES 9-14 KINGSTON, ONTARIO, THURSUAY, MARCH 28 191 Se = EE SECOND SECTION Making Music Interesting. The study of music from the very beginning should be made interesting and thorpugh, even the child can be made to play with egpression in her own atmosphere and by degrees the study will become a source of real pleasure and inspiration to him or her. The really good teacher must have a positive technique to teach, it will not do any good to fged the pupil on old worn out doctrines. What we need is teachers all over the country, who know foundational technique according to correct prin- ciples and can teach it. TheMsthere Is no need of "beginning over again," because the foundation was badly laid, if such a student should enter the classes of an artist teachér, If you want to choose an artist teacher for your girl or boy, be sure that he or she is thoroughly prepar- ed a 'hen choose one teacher who is an gducator. In order to conquer the technical side of piano playing one has to learn a positive technique, and this positive technique consists of a through drill in theills, scales and chords, arpeggios and octaves. A painte, would not begin to teach a pupil landscape painting without giving the pupil first a thorough drill in drawing, in the same man- ner a piano teacher should not begin to teach a pupil compositions with- out first: giving him a thorough drill in technique and touch, to stréngthen the fingers and make them trust- worthy and dependable, Practice at the piano should not be a mechan- foal rattling off of exercises by the hour or by the number of repetitions. The student should bear in mind, that a mental supervision is abso- lutely mecessary, in erder to see that the hand is held eorrectly and that the fingers move in the right way. Children Blame Parents, Some people pride themselves on the fact that when they once make up their minds ofi a subject they never alter their decision. To 'make that a general rule is no sign of big- ness, The really big mind does not operate on the same principle as the laws of the Medes and Persians. And 50 'when one finds a person of good judgment, who has altered his or her viewpoint, it is always instructive to pry into the reasons for the change. The writer recently met a Mother who at one time Yhelieved it bettér to force a musical education on a child if the child rebelled against it, She thought that without a delight in piano practice or at least a mild The Telgmann Schoo) -.

Then he will thank those who persisted for benefit, Abont Chinese Music, Chinese music has always been he-| occidental | "neither yond the grasp of the mind, appearing . to have rhyme nor reason to it. As a mam ter of fact, a Chinese musician must be very skilled. indeed, in his pro fession to hold a position in an xntal orchestra. "Ripese musie is not written. The f some of the favorite songs have been preserved but the music has teen handed down from father to son for generations-that go far back before the days of the trouba- dours. . When thé music is played it played according to the memory the musician and his ideas of inter- pretation. A musician performance as his best judgment dictates, and strings, reeds or brass may break in at almost any The Chinese performers are a vival of the wandering minstrels, and "p-day they are the same as they were when Confucius was a boy.

To the Mother who is doing her housework without the help of a maid there is more to her piano than musical tones. She must look at the case in mahogany or walnut or oak, whichever it may be, as an article of furniture. And that she is giving just plain durability, a large share of her thought is certain from the in- creased demand for pianos in oak cases, 'or if mahogany then in satin is sur- 1 BRITISH WORKERS EAT THAN CANADIANS DO.

Of course, there are such esta favorites vas Neyn's "The Rosary," and oc-| Sion one like ~"Litile Grey Home in the West' or even "A Pers fect Day," which might be said fall into the "enduring" catalogue. As a rule, however, the songs writ ten in these {imes are not of the kind that deserve to last. Ragtime ditties i and mere jingles too often reach the | largest scale. "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," for instance, being credited with a sale of 750,000 copies, But it is the song "with a tear in! ji" ~80ongs such as "Listen to the | Mocking Bird," #which promises to' last forever, and which was com-| posed by a Rhiladelphian, Septimus | Winner, who, during his life wrote | many successes under the nom plume of -"Alite Hawthorne' --that goes on and on from year to year. And it is because of the tears that, are in it, the responsive chord which | it strikes in the liearts of those whbv | are "growing old," that 'Silver Threads Among the Gold" is one of! the most popular sentimental songs | éver written, and it is 'because of thed poem of this song that the name Eben E.
