'V sSiNs :i Today we painted some music It may seem unusual that these young sters are painting "by ear". . . turning music from the classroom radio into colorful pictures. But this is the kind of creativeness the Standard School Broadcast inspires. Currently, the program's theme is "Music Passport to the World." Using our listening guide, teachers relate music to geography, history, "art, folklore, literature. This helps children gain insight into the life and culture of the peoples of the world. It leads to better and quicker understanding of both the music and the other studies. By playing and dramatizing all tvpes of music from symphony to jazz, Thailand dances to Broadway hits, the program adds a new, delightful dimension to learning. We started this program 33 years go, never dreaming our listening family would grow to include 2'i million children in classrooms. Now countless adults, too, have discovered how entertaining and informative the broadcasts are at home. If you'd like to know why the pro gram has such wide appeal, try tuning in on Thursdays.
