Pr.a.1 That musicianship is flot an un reasonable thing for which to striW in gi-ammar uchools was demon. strated by the children of the Skokit schMo, Winnetka, in, a concert ai the sehool on Friday evening. Tht old fashioned.-idea (which stili per. sists minmaniy of our schools) thai children are,ànly capable of mouth- ing words with a brief and. bad!; sustained. tone, *as been booted to the. four winds by Lawrence Ying- tiMgdirector of music at1 the Skokie uchool.- The-concert 1ast Priday held some high spots which delighteda critical revîewer.. Mr.' Yingling is doing remarkab le workc with the youngsters in singing. Though lesu than an hour and, a hall per week is spent in chorus claýs, and an additional haîf lhour as a1 spe- cial chorus, the children stud y ovea a. hundred works a year, songs by .composersfrom 'the peraod since the, beginng of th,. sixteenth century. Aul principal natienaitties are 'repre- sented in the repertoire, and the choruses range front three to eigh~t parts. Six and eight parts is the rule for boys' voices. This puts many granimar schools, where three parts as the rule, to shame. In that deplor- ably small time Mr. Yingling man- ages to whipbis choruses into shape so that in the middle of the school year they cati give as fine a concert as the one of last week. 0a114.. D.aw. Beait Outside of the fact that the con- cert was enjoyable fromn the listen-. cr's. standpont, it was invaluable front the children's angle. Sixtb, sev-, enth and eîghtb graders learn to stay on pitch, to sing naturally, to become acquainted with the best mu- sical, literatutre, and to- learn à littie musicianship. Although the appear. ance.of the chorus members ýis very infoirmai, which adds pleasure: to 1al,4 there is nothing informai aàbout, the5 singing., Everything, tone, pitch, quality, must exactly follow the pat- - tern desired by the leader.r As a result of this unfailing ad- Harô,Id Kreutz~berg and Yvonne Georgi, Modern Germata dancers, UtiIl give their second recital of the seasonp on Sundrsy afternoon, March 1; .at Orchestra hall, under the atu-sices of HenrY E. Voegeli.. The:v are -pupils of MarY Wig- maon, uho recently appcared in fusé dance recitais. The German dancers will repeat, a few of their outstandingly success fui numbers of the first. concert, and wil give nmany new solos and duets. To- gether they will be seen in "Hymn,'" "Ins the Twiligbt,>'49 Playing," "A Rus- sian Dance," Ravel's "Pavanne," "Bad Dreanis," "Minuet" by Bizet, and "Three Parodies."' Kreutzberg will be seen in,. his popular "Angel of the Last Judgment," and "Master of Ceremony," and Georgi *111 do her famous "Kas- sandra'" dance, as wel as three. minia- tures in th Spanish style. Wherever they appear, Kreutzberg and Georgi are asked if they are mar- ried, a question probably brought on by the perfect harrnionv of thé!ir Aiit 'te Uvic 'ipera nouse.
