The voice of the wind is turned into a song as a band student salutes his aspiration. He Is Great Who Turns the Voice of the Wznd emo' the Rainbow into ez Likeness o mem In studying the fine arts, the student hopes that another facet of his character will emerge, that he will be able to project his new-found awareness of life through art or music. The student cannot express himself adequately at his stage of devel- opment. Many more steps lie ahead before he reaches the goal of ex- pression. But now, with proper guidance, he begins to lay the ground- work for adequate expression in the future. In the graphic arts, the student learns how to mix and handle paint. He learns the intricacies of various mediums, brush, pen and crayon. In music the mechanics of handling the instrument, the principle of time, the scale, all take infinite practice before skill is developed, before real mastery is attained. The student of art, and the student of music must both learn the control that accompanies expression. They must learn to operate within the confines of their medium. Knowledge of these limits is essential to expression, once learned, the limitation of form can be used to advan- tage. Only after the student masters the individual brush stroke, the note on the scale, can he approach full expression and envision great- ness. 22 v
