ANEXAMINER'SADVICE.

PerceptionBeforePractice.

Commentingontheprogressofthe examinationsconductedinPerthunder theauspicesoftheAustralianMusic ExaminationsBoard,ProfessorHarold Davies,DirectoroftheElderComervatorium,Adelaide,saidthatthequal- ityoftheworkofstudentsinthis Statewasontheup-grade.Generallythestandardoftheworkpresented byWestAustraliancandidatescomparedquitefavourablywiththatsubmietedintheotherStatesoftheCommonwealth.

Inthecourseofageneralreviewof theprogressinWesternAustralia,Dr. Daviesstressedthefactthatmusic teachershadnotyetgraspedthe vitalimportanceofthesyllabusofexaminationsinmusicalperception,whichhadbeendrawnupby theboards.The sole purposeofthissyllabuswasto fosterthehabitofintelligentlisteningtomusic.Musicaleducationwasfirst andlastlearningtolisten,andthedevelopmentoftheoralfacultieswasthe onlythingthatreallymattered.The successofperformersmustinevitalsly dependupontheirabilitytohearwhat theyweredoing.Intheordinary courseofthings,thestudentwasmole concernedwithwagglinghisfipg,ers thanwithrealisingtheeffecthewas producing.Yetthisrealisationwas theabsoluteconditionofartistry.

Morethanthis,thesuccessofthe teacheralsodependedonthefaculty ofcriticalhearing.Meretechnical skillwouldneveryieldamusicalresult. "Perception,"declaredtheprofesscr, "mustprecedepractice.Thevision ofbeautymustgobeforeitsattainmentinperformance."

Dr.Davieswasemphaticinhisbe liefthatthesmallestchildinhisearl} esteffortsatthekeyboardcouldeasily

betaughttodistinguishbetweenbeautifulanduglysound.Whatwasnot beautifulwasnotmusic,andonlyactualhearingcoulddeterminethis.A mostimportantfactorinthisearly trainingwastheinstrumentitself.if 'childrenweretobetaughttorecog niseandappreciatethedifferencebetweenuglysoundsandbeautiful soundstheymustnotbeallowedto practiceuponpianosthatwereoutof tuneorofaqualitythatrathersuggestedtinkettlesthanmusicalinst.-to ments.Thelittlechild'ssenseofhearingwaslikethebloomonabutterfly'swing;todestroyitssensitiveness inthiswaywastodoanirreparable injury.

"Parentsaswellasteachers,"added ProfessorDavies,"mustbedeeply concernedwiththesethings,foronly astheperceptionofbeautyisdevelopedbyeverypossiblemeanscanwe hopetomakemusictheexquisitejoy itreallyshouldbe."
