THE LONG VACATION
DOES IT DO HARM OR GOOD?
When the beginner in music stops studying for three or four months at n stretch he forgets practically all that he hasS learned Likewise tho pupil who is moderately advanced loses ground very rapidly Even a fully-matured musician notices the difference when he stops work for that length of time. The difficult work of a * teacher in training hands to .play and in teaching brains to think and ears to hear seems entirely wasted in many cases. If parents and students would only realise that it is the regular practice that counts, the activities engaged in day after day that mould lives, they would arrange their vacation time differently. •We all need vacations. A change of air, new faces, new scenes and a rest are' essential; but the long, long vacation does moro harm than good.
