studio in Berlin attracted foremost talents from all over Europe and America. Having been a tremendous student himself, he is able to impart to his pupils a wealth of invaluable results from his years of experience, and also the principles and traditions of his own instructors, principally the great Rubinstein.
Mr. Lhevinne’s ideas on technic are especially interesting, including such expressions as: “Finding the bottom of the keys,” “balance of muscles,” “value of firm fingers,” etc., etc. It is a matter of comment that so few of the really great artists are willing to teach or can find the time to do so. During the winter seasons they are booked solidly in concert tours, and, of course, in the summer it is preferable to rest and prepare new programs in some quiet spot. It is peculiarly advantageous to the professional musician that he can have this opportunity to study in the summer, which is also the best time for most professional musicians, and it is no wonder that so many are eager to obtain this opportunity to receive new inspiration and ideas and additional prestige in their work.

there and heard her cheered as some of the foreign artists have been in the past. It only goes to prove that Americans, too, can be enthusiastic when they want to be. It was a pretty compliment and the reviewer at least was glad to see it. This program also goes to prove that the vast majority of audiences appreciate something a little more than a thirteenth century English Christmas carol, a sixteenth century gavotte, or an eighteenth century Italian Street Song, interspersed with hours of German classics. This is certainly food for thought, and it seems certain that Miss Thomas is giving her audiences what they want, and that is the first secret of a great success.

Josef Lhevinne to Hold Master Class at American Conservatory (Chicago)
The interest in Josef Lhevinne’s classes this summer is proving even greater than in past seasons, judging from the inquiries and enrollments received, according to information

from the conservatory management’. Professional pianists, teachers and artist-pupils from all parts of the country are eager to grasp this opportunity to study with this world-renowned artist. This will be the fourth successive summer that Lhevinne has held a master class at the American Conservatory, and it is a significant fact that a number of his pupils will return for the fourth time.
In addition to private instruction, Mr. Lhevinne will conduct two repertory-teachers’ classes each week, which will be composed of from eight to ten active members and about forty auditors.
The presence of Josef Lhevinne in Chicago during the summer is one of the principal factors in making that city a Mecca for the student who finds that period of the year the only time for study. Josef Lhevinne is one of the great artists who is also a remarkable teacher. He possesses all the endowments of a truly great pedagogue. For years his

of enthusiasm on the part of the listeners and several numbers had to be repeated.
The usual concert for the school children was given in the afternoon by Mr. Rothwell and his men and a splendid program had been arranged.
The Amphion Club presented three local musicians in an exceptionally interesting program. Humphrey Stewart, organist, and Ellen Bronson Babcock, pianist, gave ensemble numbers for organ and piano, and Mne Drew Clark, soprano, sang two groups of songs accompanied by Mrs. Maurice B. Hesse. The audience was very enthusiastic.
The San Diego Music Students’ Club is a live organization, as it has been able to prove by the excellence of its annual Amphion Club Recital. This year fifteen members are taking part in the program, which consists of vocal and instrumental solos and ensemble numbers. No member may appear at this, the big event of the year, two successive years. The participants are selected by vote of members and everything is planned and carried out by the young people themselves in a most creditable manner. The club was organized three years ago, through the efforts of Mrs. L. L. Rowan and Nell Cave, and has been sponsored by the Amphion Club.
A talented, versatile and charming young woman, Daisy Jean, has entertained San Diego delightfully under the auspices of the Thearle Music Company. Miss Jean sings and plays the piano, harp and violin equally well! E. B. B.
Leginska Sails
Ethel Leginska sailed on the Majestic on March 31, going-first to London, where she will devote some time to finishing her orchestral work. Then she will go to the south of France to give a concert near Monte Carlo, after which she will appear in London. There she will remain until July, when she proceeds to Germany to conduct. This will mark Leginska’s first appearance as a wielder of the baton and she will be thus occupied for at least two months. Recitals will be given, following her Germany dates, in Austria and Holland. In the last mentioned country, Leginska will play under Mengelberg.
Leginska will return to America about the middle of October in time for her first date of the season 1923-24 which will be in New Jersey on October 17. She has been booked for a tour that will include appearances on the Pacific Coast, in the States of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and Texas. Her tour in the West will be under the local direction of Selby C. Oppenheimer of San Francisco and L. E. Behymer of Los Angeles. Other engagements next season will include appearances with the St. Louis and Boston Symphony orchestras. When Leginska plays her pair of concerts with the Boston Symphony, Pierre Monteux will also give a place on his program for those concerts to Leginska’s symphonic poem, Beyond the Fields We Know. In November, her string quartet will have its first public hearing in America, when it is played by the New York String Quartet.
This summer many of Leginska’s advanced pupils will study in Europe with her as in former summers. These will
