Music Faculty Sitting: Perkins, Brooks. Steadinan. At water. Barnard. Standing: Howard, Butler, Randell, Warren. Greeley. The music faculty is highly trained for the work required. Teacher college-work demands very thorough preparation and a cultured back- ground, for the teacher-pupil contacts point directly to students who them- selves expect to enter the Public School Music profession. Owing to the diversified requirements one teacher may have a special facility for the teaching of harmony, form and analysis and counterpoint; in fact, all the work included in the department of theory; another may have distinct ability in the teaching of music history and appreciation. The teacher who does the critic work in the campus training-schools must have a fine background, not only in music, but in the dealing with children and adolescents. The person teaching methods and materials must not only have a thorough knowledge of a basic series, but also of all school music texts and. of course, a knowledge of the many aspects which enter into these fields. The band director must not only be a thoroughly trained band leader, but also must have a fine working knowledge of all band instruments and of materials suitable for instrumental work in the grades and the Junior and Senior High Schools, as well as for the College Symohonic Band. The same ideals hold true for the director of orchestra and of course, just as the band director must know clarinets, he must know the entire string choir. The choral director must have a knowledge of suitable materials and know how to get the best results from voices and how to secure musical effects in the Vested Choir, the Ladies Chorus, the Massed Chorus and the Men ' s Glee Club. Upon the private teacher of voice and piano devolves a great respon- sibility for students must be taught to play piano who have had little in- struction before entering the college. Both piano and voice teacher must have an accurate and thorough knowledge of what to do for students com- ing within their sphere of musical influence. In fact, all teachers must be adequate. 22
