REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To the Superintendent and School Board of Tewksbury:
From the official head of the Women's Music Clubs of America there has lately been a challenge and prophecy in the statement that "the hope of the nation for universal music culture rests upon music in the Public Schools." You might ask, "How is this being answered ?
In our one aim in the Public Schools of America. That is, to produce children trained in the broadly cultural and appreciative side of the art, using band and orchestral training, vocal and in- strumental instructions as the tools.
Last winter violin classes were organized in the schools. They were a success from the fact that we have apparent proofs. 1. Members were prepared to give a public demonstration. 2. Some of the pupils are studying with private teachers. 3. I could not produce an orchestra until after the classes were well established; at graduation the results were given. 4. It has given material for a Junior ensemble.
At a recent Parent-Teacher's meeting the regular orchestra gave a demonstration of the Wednesday morning work this fall. The in- strumental work is all done out of school hours.
Of the true value of this instrumental work I am fully con- vinced, because I believe some children should learn to play, some to sing, some to listen, some to professional perfection, some to amateur accomplishment, but each to that point where music would fill its finest place in his life.
The regular vocal music and appreciation is being carried on by the same schedule as I have given in a previous report.
The principal features : good tone quality, the right vocal habits, the love and appreciation of good music, being foremost in all les- sons through the grades from first to eighth.
Last winter a concert was given by the Foster and Spaulding Schools. Although given in the style of a pageant it portrayed the regular school work, as the songs were taken mostly from our music readers, and the dances by Grades I. and II. demonstrated. work with rhythmic effects. Some of the proceeds were used for Victrola records, playground necessities and orchestra music.
Respectully submitted,
ISABEL M. GREGORY,
Supervisor of Music.
