Music Plays An Important Part In Activities At Clyde School By SARA HESTER , .... . . , , . of children from the fourth through For many years music educators the seventh grades. have been striving to put into! Music is a medium of exprea- every school a music program , jon f or every nation.

A group of forty to give to each child a music course iyj, an(j gjris join in singing ona from the time he begins school un- g0ng, and they feel that they ars til he reaches graduation from high school. Some of the objectives in such a course are: one. By this time au oi us are familiar with the county music festivals that have been held for the past two years. It is a very i ir u i: u t .' inspiring thing to see a thousand 1. e believe that every child " , . , , can eventually learn to sing ana that is the basis of our course. Our next step is to lead the child to want to and to learn to sing correctly. This is done through songs written especially for that purpose. 2. Through music we try to de velop a sense of rhythm. From such simple things as rocking the baby to sleep to very ' complicated folk dances are practiced often. Colorful for Evening children, most of whom have never seen each other before, unite in singing the same songs together. In the singing of these songs is found a spirit of unity that would not be found in many other group activities. The high school glee club enjoy ed a new kind of group work when they joined with an outside glee club to give three Christmas pro grams. A spirit ot cooperation aims will have been fulfilled. V".

Although every child can learn to sing, read, and enjoy music, not every child is talented. A talented child is encouraged to develop his talent. As much time he can be found is given to special groups. A small number of children are taking advantage of piano lessons given them at hardly any cost at all.
