There was a-time when music was very much an after-
thought in the average school curriculum, indulged in as a
relief from more serious studies for an hour or so a week with
very little preparation or active interest.

One remembers

with aversion the faded Tonic-so-fa

charts, the continual repetition of doh-me-so-doh and the
baffling intervals in between. Pupils with some knowledge of
conventional musical notation were mostly confused trying

to relate the two

Two years ago a new music curriculum was introduced to
British Columbia schools by the Department of Education,
the keynote being active participation of the whole student
body in a varied program.of musical education.

Under the direction of Mrs. Eva McCullum the new ap-
proach has been pursued with great success in all the

elementary

schools of Saanich School

District: The

demonstration at Keating before a large audience proved
without doubt the interest of the students. from the youngest

to the oldest.

Sight reading of conventional music notation begins in the
early Primary years: through body movements and by the
use of simple instruments various musical concepts are felt.

Around 50 of Grade four and tive pupils were assembled in
one of the demonstrations. Each had an. instrument anda

each child through the musical idiom, rather than the per-
