The Work of Valerie Corliss
\VVALERIE CORLISS, of Wellington, who died recently, was vtidely -known for her work in organising the British Music Society in New Zealand and as a lecturer and teacher of music. Interest in her lectures was wide, and she continually received letters asking her advice on modern teaching methods. She was the New Zealand represen.ative of the Tobias Matthay Pianoforte School, London, and visited England three times, giving lectures and recitals and exchanging ideas with some. of Britain’s prominent musicians. She believed that the modern musician should interest himself in the other arts, for (the principles of all art being the same) such experience must be invaluable to him. During her visits to London she _ sent articles to New Zealand newspapers and was often heard in broadcasts from 2YA. Titles of her published articles were "The Orchestra in Rela‘ion to
Pienoforte Teaching," "The Art of Listening to Music," "Music and Psychology" and "Colour in Music and the Related Arts." For several years Valerie Corliss conducted fortnightly students’ classes at which from 28 to 30 pupils would per-
form, and she gave addresses on music to the Wellington W.E.A., and various Wellington clubs. She was an _A.R.A.M. and L.R.A.M. and a member of the council of the Society of Registered Music Teachers of New Zealand (Wellington branch).
