Shop Where JEAN HART'S Approach Urged in Public "We used to have the 'cats' on one side of the fence and the 'long-hairs' on the other . . . now we're-trying to tear down that fence and get each to appreciate the other's kind of music." "With these words E. E. Mohr, head of the. Southwestern division of the Music Educators National conference,' sums up1 a new -atti tude of educators toward greater variety in music study. The long-prevalent "good mu sic approach to music in schools is broadening to include all mus sic as educators recognize differ ent needs in different students. . Ralph - Rush, ' former MENC president, explains: "We're not teaching for the embryo Heifetz or Rubenstein alone anymore. We want to make music part of everyone's everyday life." Trend Is National Greater variety in school mu sic programs is showing up all across the country both in the use of a wider variety of instru ments and in a more liberal view of types of music. Three years ago educators read with surprise that the Ingle wood (Calif.) High School offers both accordion and guitar study for credit. Today, both these in-. struments, ;and .the harmonica, too; are considered "worthy" of acceptance for . credit by many educators.' - ' One music teacher points but: "Much of the fine music of our times such as spirituals, folk songs, and songs that immigrat ed to this country' with national groups can. best be; played on these simpler instruments. We need to make all of these musi cal forms, as well as the classical instruments and music, available for students choice." . " " f Urges Popular Music - ' ; . William H. Tallmadge, profes sor at New York State College for Teachers, Buffalo, proposes more emphasis on jazz and popu lar music in the schools. He gives as his reasons: ( .1. A real understanding of music .requires understanding of the history and development of music, much of which had its beginnings in jazz and folk mu sic. : 'b ;-,:.vV-'" ;:;V- . at .the .

The workers want dolls, lots of them,1 and pointed out that arms, legs and heads can be put on new bodies, and all man ner of miracles worked with old dolls. (Landis-Shangle photo) to Music Schools 2. Study of "jazz" develops keener discrimination of both contemporary music and music history. All of the educators who advo cate broader music programs make it clear that this expan sion should augment the accept ed orchestra and band programs, not replace them. As Dr. John C. Kendel, vice president of the American Music Conference and past president of MENC, explains: "There is so much good music, in so many forms, everyone ; should have the opportunity, to select the kind : that, brings the greatest personal satisfaction to his life. The purpose of music, after all, is pleasure."
