Buchtel nationally known band and orcnes tra leader, said wlien questioned on the all-state high school music course. Mr. Buchtel, who has had a wide and varied experience in the field of public school music expressed himself as particularly gratified at the fine spirit and in terest shown by the Nebraska musicians. The purpose of the course two-fold, he declared. The indi vidual work of the student is im proved thru eight private lessons, two each week, and his ability to fit into groups is increased through sectional and ensemble drill. "The musician learns some thing in the private lessons, then learns how to apply it in the en semble work, Mr. Buchtel said. Remarking that when Nebraska started the summer music period four years ago it was among the first of its kind in the nation, the leader said the university still has a superior feature in the private lessons which are omitted by many similar courses. He explained that high school musicians often find individual instruction hard to get since one teacher must often teach everyone. "The more talented go home from here as virtual assist ants to their instructors," he said "In one day of drill our groups have improved immensely, continued, "and each student ap pears to be working with keen anticipation toward the final con cert." Mr. Buchtel is an instructor at the Vander-Cook school of music in Chicago and at Amundsen high school there. He writes a column "Keeping Pace With The Publish era," for the School Musician mag azine. A. H. HAUN'S BAND TO PLAY FOR FRIDAY PARTIES rof.
