18—THE JEWISH NEWS
Musk In Our Schools
By IOLA R. SCHIPLER
Music Director,
United Hebrew Schools
David Ewen, in his history of
Jewish Music, makes the pro-
vocative statement that music
has been the very life blood of
Hebrew existence throughout
the ages. While he may be ac-
cused of over-emphasizing the
importance of his own major
field of interest, the fact, never-
theless, remains that music al-
Ways has played a primary role
In the life of the Jew, second
only to the religion itself. Music
has afforded means of individu-
al and group expression f6r his
hopes, fears, aspirations, failures,
religious fervor and enthusiasm.
At present, the -possibilities
and benefits of a music-enriched
Hebrew SchoOl Curriculum are
being discovered in our larger
Jewish .centers. In keeping with
this educational trend. the Unit-
ed Hebrew Schools are laying
the foundation for a permanent
music department and music
program.
The primary aim of this de-
partment is to acquaint every
Hebrew school pupil with the
values and satisfactions that can
be derived from Hebrew group
singing. We desire to translate
the daily Hebrew lesson into a

needs:

petuation of and through the

ft.-In our six branches, weekly or
bi-weekly music periods conduc-
ted in a special music or as-
sembly room with the use of
piano; organ, and record player
are lending a new spirit and
meaning to the daily school pro-
gram.
On Sunday mornings, the
passerby near the Rose Sittig
Cohen Building often stops to
listen to the strains of enthusi-
astic child voices sounding forth
the traditional Hebrew melodies,
the 60-odd children assembled
here forming the nucleus of one
of our newest projects, a com-
bined United Hebrew • Schools
Choir.
A special occasion for the ap-
pearance of this choir is the
radio broadcast which the chil-
dren are currently preparing in
connection with Jewish Music
Month. On Sunday, March 9, at
12:30 p.m., the United Hebrew
Schools, through the facilities
of Station WWJ, will present a
15 minute radio broadcast en-
titled, "The United Hebrew
Schools Celebrates Jewish Music
Month." The narrator and di-
rector of the program will be
WWJ's announcer, Bob Leslie,
and the participants will be
children of the United Hebrew
Schools.
On Wednesday evenings a
-select group of teachers and
group leaders are assembling to
sing Jewish music, to play the
Israeli flute, to analyze Jewish
song, and to acquaint themselves
with the methods of Jewish
Music Education.
Through the growth of our
Music Department, we hope that
music will become a vital con-
stituent of the "life-blood of our
Hebrew School existence."
