Wail to Our eTl usic Directors CTqJE salute these two in- ■ structors of our mu- sic department whose un- ceasing efforts have in such a relatively short period of time placed our school mu- sic on such a high plane! When interviewing Hudson I figh’s two musical wizards, many interesting and amus- ing comments were unearth. 4 The cello is my favorite instrument” was Mr. Dahl the statement of Dave Dahl, master of the Hudson High School band and orchestra. ‘‘I can plav every instrument except the violin and piano, the cello, clarinet, and saxophone being my professional instruments,” he commented. Dave chuckled heartily when he reminisced about the most humor- ous moment in his life, which was the time he played a solo on the violin at a theater in Canada. ‘I don t know what I would have done if the violinist hadn’t been behind the curtains.” Miss Hanson The best age to take up any instrument is from twelve to fourteen years. Mr. Dahl thinks that there is no difference in teaching a boy or girl, but he demands more from the boys. However, they all must have a sense of rhythm, good ear for pitch and a natural aptitude. Mr. Dahl has met many famous musicians of today such as Herbert Clark, once greatest cornetist in the world, John Philip Sousa, the well known March King , and Rubinoff, the violinist, who has never forgiven Dave for refusing a dance job at the Rogers’ Hotel in Minneapolis. When Dave isn’t occupied with his work at school, he is busy perform- ing his duties as warrant officer in the 206th infantry in St. Paul. “I like the training because of the education and discipline that you receive.” says Mr. Dahl. In his leisure time he enjoys reading and he keeps a collection of quotations, particularly of those on music. 1 timing from the world of music as performed on mechanical instru- ments. we come to another world where the production of music is dependent upon a living instrument and, hence, responds delicately and exquisitely to every emotion and aspiration of man—the human voice. I his calls attention to Miss hdith Hanson, vocal instructor, who has taught at Hudson High School for twelve years. Besides being a capable in- stinctor of the voice, she has shown domestic talent in cooking and sewing. In her few leisure moments she enjoys reading good books. Miss Hanson, an alumna of Hudson High by the way. likes to develop sincerity in her students. To her sincerity is the most im|x rtant quality needed for a voice student. Her favorite comjx)sers are Brahms. Bach, and Ravel, but one of her favorite songs is “The Prayer” by Humperdinck from the three act (ierman fable, “Hansel and Gretel.” kike a true Norsky she “goes for” coffee and would love to eat her breakfast in bed every morning. A few of her prob- lems are to get the students to breathe correctly, and to assure the right place- ment of tines and posture. She is now organist at the Bethel Lutheran C hurch. In conclusion we sp.ak a word of commendation for the music courses as offered to Hudson students and its immeasurable value to the individual and the community. Our music department has risen to the top and is now respected as one of the most inijxirtant organizations in the high school. 29
