THE ASHBURIAN 25 Thanks to the efficient organization of Lt. Col. A. C. Brett, A.A.G. and to a number of other oflicers assisting, this purpose was admirably fulfilled. Some six schools, including Ashbury, were represented at the convention. This year the classes in Nlusic Appreciation have been rather novel. Instead of the usual listening to music, discussing what had been plaved and becoming familiar with the lives of the com iosers we had each boy , Q I l Q Q . do a project on what was presented in class. The results were most interesting. There was imagination and artistic ability shown in most :- a . . of the work. The boys who did not draw well wrote essays and found pictures to put in their books. In forms Transitus III.-X, IIIB classes we covered the lives of Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, Berlioz, Beethoven and Handel. The Form prizes were given to those who did the best projects and who obtained the highest marks on their written test. They are listed elsewhere in this magazine. In Form II the project was on the instruments of the orchestra and the results can be seen in gaily coloured charts now adorning the walls of the Music Room. Form I classes were kept busy with Rhythm band, singing games and stories of music. VVe are looking forward to next year with the ever-present challenge of stimulating young minds to things beautiful. In addition to the projects noted above, those boys who are interested in music are given an opportunity to attend whatever con- certs and recitals may be available. This year a number of the boys heard a series of performances by the Ottawa Philharmonic Orchestra, the Tremblay Concerts and several piano and violin recitals. IRENE XXIOODBURN
