My, I thought, how instructive this could be to the young vocalist. Miss Stevens shaped her mouth for each vowel sound and did not give any Im- pression of pulling funny faces. The main thing I noticed was how she opened her mouth. If ever I am talking to children about singing, I always ask them to put two fingers in their mouths. "I want to see your mouths open no less than that." Your mouth is open fairly wide when you get two fingers in. Try it and see: Then of course is the bell shaped mouth for the "ah" sound,-the ov- al mouth for "oh" the wider mouth for the "ay" and even the "ee" the mouth should be open but not as much as for the "ah" sound, et c Then of course one should keep the lips away from the teeth, except in, the "oh". vowel. There are many more things to singing correctly than this, such as the control of breath, loose jaw and others, but all these things vou can notice when you see a real artist singing over television. I am a great believer in watching oth- ers who are proven artists per- form as I believe that a lot can be taken from example. I mean ex ample and not imitation. There is a difference. This does not only allude just to vocalists on television for 1 noticed that the operator would switch his camera into the dif- ferent sections of the orchestra. First the violin, then the violas and cellos and. the big bass. It was a treat to watch the bowing and I am sure a student of the various instruments could learn a lot from this bowing and fingering and the whole attitude of the player. Then lastly it showed the conductor, his facial expressions, and 1 could tell from the move: ment of his mouth he was singing pum, pum, pum, indicating the beat he wanted.

The conductor, has been the re- acclaim for the ellence of the performance of this - group, which met originally for the sheer joy of singing to- gether. Tie third concert on Fri February 9th, 1951, is a concert party consisting of pianist Eva Sylvester, Josephine Chuchman, Violinist, Leopoldine Pichler, So- prano, and Miroslav Mesesnel, Tenor. This promises to be a par- ticularly interesting concert, and the committee feels highly grat- ified that a date could be arrang- ed which would not conflict with bookings for their concert tour in Canada and the United States this season. On March onto phony 16th., the North Tor: Collegiate Institute Sym- Orchestra of some 80 pieces will be conducted by Jack Dow. This musical group, while relatively unknown three years ago, has risen rapidly in the cou- cert field. This group has the dis- tinction of winning a music award in North American competition for young musicians. et reservations may be by mail to the H. and S.

I would imagine that drama students, dancers. and others could get a lot of useful aids by just watching. Yes, even sports of various kinds. The pos- sibilities seem unlimited.
