I. Sparks. Programs featuring piano solos, singing and In- strumental solos and groups were given throughout the year before an audience of faculty combers, stu- dents and parents.

Drills such as bouncing a rubber ball and writing the accidentals in time to music were also used to develon rhythm. Mote reeding was stressed, and the use of a note finder was very helpful.
