The hCusic Department The music department of Central Junior High School this year gave instruction to almost four hundred students. There are more than one hundred members of the two orchestras under the direction of Miss Marguerite Zimmerman, and almost three hundred members in the vocal classes which are taught by Miss Regina Schnakenburg. The orchestras are advancing rapidly and music by great composers, such as Marche Militaire by Schubert, is being studied. In order to provide for more pro- fessional balance, some of the instruments net commonly played by the students are gradually being bought by the school. Central Junior now owns a flute, a double bass, a violoncello, and a bass drum with raps. At its public performances, our orchestra demonstrated to the school how beautifully and artistically it could play. The vocal classes do work along various musical lines. Each class period opens with breathing exercises and a few vocal exercises. Sight reading is an important part of the regular work and small groups of pupils can stand before the class and sing three-part songs they have never seen before, making very few mistakes, and in some cases, not any. The theory work consists of the study of all common musical symbols and the building of all major and m.nor scales. Before the end of the year some melodies will be written. The work in appreciation has been the study of dance forms, of simple musical form, and a study o the opera Martha. Chorus work has enabled each class to work up quite a good repertoire. A Glee Club has been organized by a group of boys and a group of girls from various classes. Page One Hundred Nine
