Music Curriculum Has Four Goal Aim Appreciation, relaxation and enjoyment, as well as professional competence, are goals of the music department. To this end, the department, this year, has programmed over 50 concerts, recitals and music clinics, all without charge to students. Included were performances by the Symphony Orchestra, Concert Band, Brass Choir, Woodwind Choir, Mixed Chorus and A Cappella Choir. Both faculty and students participate in the Fresno Philharmonic Orchestra and have pro- vided valuable contributions to the orchestra's inception and its present success. They practice six hours a week throughout the season and in- crease rehearsal time during concert performance weeks. A recent survey of music department students shows that approximately 50 per cent of those participating in these activities are majoring in another field, and, thus, the faculty members feel that their goals in aesthetic values are being achieved. Dr. Fred Dempster plays a tune for Dr. Ralph Rea, head of the music department, and Dr. Arthur Barnes. Dr. Ralph Rea, head of the music department, is chatting with Suzanne Block, who is one of the world's few specialists in the lute. Using the facilities of the music library are Judi Magarian, Kathy Behm and Marjorie Thompson.
