(4) Education for musical taste must be gradual, not by leaps. (5) Expansion of high-school music may advantageously be extracurricular in large part. (6) Music contests have greatly aided in the promotion of musical education. (7) The radio and the phonograph have in recent years been the most effective media for the dissemination of musical information. (8) It is quite natural and well that the fervor for music should cool off for many at the end of the teens. Questions to Consider (1) Should the schools supply musical instruments at public expense? (2) If so, what selective procedures and restrictions should be set up? (3) Is the author's conception of the characteristics of adolescence generally accepted by educators? (4) What are the evils of music contests? (5) What are some of the unfavorable musical effects of the radio? (6) What problems arise in connection with the change of voice in boys? (7) Should the high-school _a cappella_ choir exhibit the vibrato in singing? (See the author's _The Vibrato in Voice and Instrument_, University of Iowa Press.) (8) How can high-school musicians render larger religious, social, and patriotic services in the community? Discuss These Situations (1) Last fall (1939) I saw seventy-eight marching high-school bands with over 6000 instruments in a two-mile parade on the morning before a football game at the University of Oklahoma. Here was a cross-section of the youth of the state, many of them Indians; all in uniform in dancing march for musical display. Consider pro and con the implications of this phenomenal outbreak of music from (a) the musical, (b) the social, (c) the educational, and (d) the economical points of view. (2) There is a splendid tendency at present to integrate the school with social life, community services, and part-time employment. What features in such integration seem most promising for music? Chapter V THE MUSICAL TEMPERAMENT What makes a musician temperamental? Tell a musician he is temperamental, and he will take offense. Yet perhaps the thing in his personality of which he is most proud is the possession of a musical temperament. This characteristic inconsistency has a basis in psychological fact; namely, that the exhibition of artistic temperament frequently leads to attitudes and actions which the rest of the world may criticize and view with amusement; but, on the other hand, the finest expressions of musicianship would perhaps be impossible without the possession of an artistic temperament.
