DATED this 1st day of February, 1941. In the Estate of Alexander Kerr, late of the Village of Richmond Hill in the County of York, deceased. G. D. Amkinson The usual dictionary meaning of the word “musician!” is “one who is skilled in the science or practice or music”, and I venture to say tv‘im most people would: agree wit-I1 this and classify the musician as one who either corruposedl music, or who was a singer or a performer on some musical instrument. I have long felt that we should include under the heading of “musician!” not only those who are skilledl in: the science and practice of music, Vbut also those who are more or less skilled] in: the “listening” to music. As practically everybody likes music and enjoys listening to it, this would automati- cally include us all under the head- ing of musiciam. Let us pl'OoeedJ on this assumption and see how it works out. In classifying musicians we would 'fimyt of all mention the one who creates the music. We call h'nm the Composer. His mind, his personal;- irty, his musical genius, his expeniâ€" ence and .atural gifts enable him: to Here is the first contest 'in the series promoted by the Toronto Con- servatory of Music. Read' the art- icle and? keep it if you like. At the end of the seven narticles, one of which will be published each week, contestants will the required to anâ€" slwezr the questions in writing at an examination held in the schools. An- swers to the questions: are abvious after reading the article in connec- tion. Readk the rules below and watch for the contest article by Dr. F. S.

M. Kerr, {by his Solicitor B. Bl‘oomifield' Jordan, 84 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario in the PARISH HALL, OAK RIDGES ANCE ‘ Sometimes these three types of (musicians are combined in different 'tways. Composers are often (not al- ‘lW‘ayS) goodl Peu't‘omner‘s, like Mozart, ilBeethwoven anti Liszt, and often great l{Performers are quite good! comlpos- ers, like Busoni and Rmbenste-in, and all are good] Listeners, of course. In closing, may I say again, we lane all musicians. If you are 3 Composer or a Performer, well and goodl. But if you are neither of these, don"t forget them; you are still a very important musician, and you tl'have it in your power to get rich ‘armd' <full Ileasure out of this wondâ€" remful art of Music. To listen well is a great achievement, and it needls 'I‘Ots if practice. Listen to good .mu- sdc. Find' out why it is good, and iwhy bad music is bad, and always (be what a friend' of mine calls an “imrpmvaflole”. ' The third, and} by far tl'ie largest class of musician, is the Listener, land! urely he is of great import- ance in the realm of Music. Wh‘at Ig‘oodl would rbe the works of our great Composers and the perform~ ance of them by our great Perfonm~ em if we did not hav.e Listemers to lappneciate and enjoy tfliem? So many “people do not feel that they are musicians unless they are Perform- ers. This is a wrong attitude ocf ‘mind. To be a: good List-enter reâ€" quires not only natural gifts, but also experience, intelligence «and good taste. One improves greatly as a. Listener as one nears more and 1more good! music, and is able to lilisrtem more and more intelligently [and app'reciatively. I'his class per- haps reaches its highest and most intensely cultivatedl stage in ’dh-e proâ€" ;fession-al musical critic. With him, [listening is a lbusiness, and his crit- ical faculties are very keen. But 2. Who is a great living com- poser? '3. Are there a great number of really great composens of music? 4. Does it require intelligence to ‘be a; good! Listener of music? 2. Applications: must be made by the end of the fifth article through ‘muvs-ic teachers in the schools. Rural teachers may obtain application forms; by applying to the office of this paper. . 1. What does it mean to be a musician? 5. Do you have to be a composer or a performer of music to really enjoy it. 3. Each article will contain six questions. Puibllic School pupiLs may answer any three questions of each ‘series, High School pupils will be Tequired to answer all six. 6. How can you improve as a listener ’00 music? 1.

The second) class of musician I 'would‘ mention» is the Performer. This class is' mulch larger, of course, and inch‘dles all who play the piano, organ, violim, or other orchestral’ in» ‘5It1'urme'nts, singers and conductors (for after all, they really play on Chart greatest of all {musical instru- lm-emts, the orchestra). The P-er- lforvmers may have great internaâ€" tional concert reputations, like Hofâ€" ‘mamun or Pademewski, or they may ‘just be folk who sing a little or 'play a: little for their own pleasure and} the pleasure it may give to Iothers. :we can all exercise this faculty, and‘ improve and elevate our good taste and appreciation. 4.

Saturday, Decemfber 21, 1940 Dear Madam:â€" I wish to take this opportunity of thanking you a thousand times for your lovely Xmas box.

I suppose you have plenty of snow over there now. As yet we have had none here. It has been quite bright and fairly warm and it seems very hard to believe Xmas is only a few days away. We are getting plenty of action here what with air raids and1 'bomlbings, but khe remark- alble spirit and courage of the peo- ple in this country is certainly to be marvel‘led at. They don’t know the meaning of the word quit and' “this kind: of courage and) spirit will never fail to win through. I hope I shall soon (be back in Richmond Hill to thank you all in person.
