Music in educationof his powers, and by the application of a series of perfectly rational
methods he will be able to acquire the main attributes of all inter-
pretation-smoothness, sonority, phrasing, rhythm, continuity,
strength, lightness, dynamic gradation and speed.
The practical results achieved with children in Paris schools who,
after a few months’ study, gave a public performance of one or two of
Bach‘s Inventions, and with my student virtuosi, provide living proof
of the soundness of a system of piano teaching which, in general and
in all its details, co-ordinates musical elements with elements dependent
upon the basic laws of bodily movement.

Geoffrey WADDINGTON, Musical Director, Canadian Broadcasting CorporationIn Canada, a country covering an area of more than 3,600,000 square
miles, a country of two official languages and populated by only 14 mil-
lion people, the publicly owned Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
is playing a unique and important role in the unification and cultural
development of our country. Its contribution to the cause of music is
an important one. Operating three networks (two in English and one
in French) in six time zones and in a system which includes both com-
mercial and non-commercial broadcasting, the CBC has endeavoured
to provide its listeners with as comprehensive a programme of music
as is possible within the limitations of time and hnancial resources.
Besides the corporation’s own programme, which provide the pro-
fessional musician in Canada with the major portion of his income,
we contribute substantially to the financial support and development
of the organized civic orchestras and choral societies. Over 600 broad-
cast periods a year are set aside for solo recitals and chamber music
