Detroit, Michigan The Guidite World of Music By Miss Ethel Jones The Public Appearance Th-* success of a public perfor mance depends upon more than be ing able to play or sing r. selec tion well. We must remember that those attending a concert see as k ell as hear. Therefore, good plat form manners are very necessary and increase the pleasure of the audience. If a performer greets his audience with a pleasing personal ity, they respond encouragingly. A natural spontaneous smile and Lhc announcing of one’s selection in a clear natural tone of choice at once places an audience in a recep tive mood. A short time ago, I attended a program given by an amatucr mu sic and dramatic club. A middle aged bass singer, with a conceited, and a {Joker face and none too well groomed, slewly importantly made his way to the platform. He an nounced his selection in the same oonceited manner. As I glanced over the crowd during his rendition the majority looked bored. Being Just an ordinary loud singer with little or no training his singing re ceived but the average polite ap plause. At another tme a young lady whose playing was no better than the average little high school girl won her audience completely. With a bright smile and a pleasing personality, she gave a lovely dis cretion of the number she was about to play, and the title and the composer. As she finished play the au dience not only gave her plenty of applause but called her back for an encore. The cause for the different re ception is plainly ewident. Sum ming up then, tJhe successful pu blic appearance is made up of three basic elements: 1. Confidence which comes from much practice and through know ledge of the piece to be played. 2. A pleasing personality, and 3. Be ing able to put the audience in a receptive mood.
