Concert Orchestra Vocational Music is a course only for students interested in making music their life-Work. The classes are usually composed of seniors, but under- classmen are permitted to include it in their studies. Members are required to Work off their college en- trance requirements before taking the subject, as it necessitates the spending of four periods daily. Sight- reading, ear-training, harmony, and music apprecia- tion are required, but a student may choose any subject in which he is specializing. Included in this list are band, orchestra, voice, choral Work, directing, and accompanying. At the end of two years of suc- cessful Work, the pupil is given a Vocational Music certificate to signify the satisfaction of Work com- pleted. Sight-reading is a study of musical intervals in both major and minor modes and all rhythmic pat- terns and meters. In advanced work, it is the study- ing and singing of parts without thc aid of any in- strument. Ear-training is the study of melodies through hearing them in various meters and rhythms. Harmony is to music what grammar is to Eng- lish. No pupil who is seriously studying music can afford to exclude this from his course of study. It takes up key formation, chord formation, melody Writing, and accompanying. Appreciation is a two-year course. The first year is spent in the studying of grand operas everyone should know, and the second year deals With sym- phony orchestras and the literature that they play. The voice classes are non-credit classes. Voice building, breathing, voealization, and song interpre- tation are taught. Senior Orchestra The Music Department 29 THE ARSENAL CANNON J 'T
