H MOLD K I Director and Associate Profc Music Music hath charms! So also Stout hath charms in the realms of music. Music has been a wel- come portion of Stout ' s curriculum, a vibrant portion with which every student has come m contact. In the music courses offered, the students receive instruction in techniques of ear training, rhythm no- tation, diatonic and chromatic scales, chord instruction, and acoustics. The various musical groups have been very active in playing at games, before assemblies, tor special programs, and tor their spe- cial concerts during the year. Perhaps the best known work of The Stout Institute music department, however, has been the development of its excellent choral groups. [27]
