By '"Et good ear," I meant capacity to sing with taste and understanding folk songs anal the sinepler songs of Schubert, Sehuanlaatn and Franz; !I do not nec- essarily mean with an exceptionally good voice. Yon used as well a vivid. and accurate sense of rhythm. If you are to be a public singer, some per- sonality is essential, as is also some dramatic sense. If you are to play an instrument, you must have good phy- sical control and co-ordination of hand and eye, 11 you intend to be a teacher of music, you must have iu ad d'1tion to the qualification, lust named some others almost, or possibly even more, important, •These • qualifications are: patience, persistence, some curiosity, a great deal of sympathy and an hon- esty of belief 1.01 what yott are doing. l\\Without patience your very first mu-. sic lessoa will be a failure; ' without persistence your second will be; and Without -curiosity you will never ach- ieve that which your mind is capable of achieving; without sympathy you will get none in return, and the music you or your pupils make Will hardly be music -at all; without honesty, of belief in any work the workman is unworthy of his craft., ,These qualities are seldom thought of as essential to a teacher of nussic and are often entirely neglected. Of what nsethat you play .the piano well or sing well if in teaching others you tail in those qualities It is so with all forms of teaching, No teacher can teach well withont patience, persis- tetice curiosity and sympathy. The music itself would relluke you if you ladctrl diem, for patience and persis- tence of an almost infinite ;ort went into it, Curiosity stimulated it, and it is the very soul af sympathy.

One answer to the first question that a large number of intelligent young men and women have already found in music a satisfactory career. They are teachers of music. They are receiving for their work. an adequate compensation, and they are .finding in it a means of satisfaction and hap'pi- tress. Music teaching ingeneral dur- ing the last tett years has become more satisfactory because it - is no longer merely a haphazard employ- men; entered into by any casual per- son with no equipment except a mod- erate, capacity to play the piano or to sing.
