Children should be treated â€"as individuals in musical education as they are in other artisâ€" tic subjects. In the ideal school a child would not go primarily to. study an instrument but to have a musical experience. He would choose the instrument he wanted to play on a level with his age and his abilâ€" ity. It would be an instrument he eould himself make.

As they proâ€" gress they want to try out more com plicated instruments. They make violins, cellos or guitars. W hile they are constructing their own instruments theyâ€"â€" are learning on models already comâ€" pleted. In the construction of, for example, a fute the child learns to tune it himself. His ear is unâ€" consciously trained in the fundaâ€" mentals of music. He learns to play not only by himself but in small orchestral groups ofâ€"his own playâ€" mates. He learns discipline but. he has a good time in the process. 10 | 45c powN | * A L & Sat. .â€"$1 45¢
