. Qfasi ' tkc CVWusic ©, epavitneni ELONORE HELENE KURTH Professor of Music HARRY E. ALDEN Bandmaster, Conductor of Orchestra Instructor in Band Instruments and Violin J LAURA E. FRENGER Instructor in Piano Plans have been consummated for strengthening various courses of the music department next year. History of Music, Appreciation of Music and Sight Singing will be conducted to meet the needs of the regular students, as well as for the cultural benefits to the outside students. A Sight Singing class for men only has been asked for and will be offered to the students. Several musical compositions of larger form will be conducted by the chorus. There is in sight the possibility of a musical festival either as a part or separate from Good Music Week, May 7-14. Several students will finish the public school teachers course. As this college is at present the only institution in the state offering such a course we have every reason to feel proud of being the first in the state to send out students ready to take positions. Now that school music is a required study in the grade schools of the state, there is an increasing demand for teachers of school music, and teachers trained in the state will be given prefernce. It is the aim of the department to strengthen courses in voice, piano and orchestra leading to a full four year diploma course, candidates being required to take a major and minor in music as well as allied musical and literary courses.
