Music

Wilfred C. Bain, Dean of the School of Music

Removed from their practice rooms, the musicians are no longer individuals, but members of a group in which each plays a part. Perfection attained through practice. . . .

Tick . . . tick . . . tick. The metronome counts the seconds, minutes, and hours of the music student's practice. As the student passes the music building, the silence is pierced by a soprano's voice. Perfection is the goal. A master of music reaches his height through hours of practice. This explains the mixture of sounds heard outside East Hall and the Music building.

The music student is given individual attention during lessons. An excellent music faculty is prepared to help him when he needs aid. The people in the halls, the coffee after the lesson, the recital, and the classes lead to the desired perfection of the music profession.

The Indiana University Symphony Orchestra and the University Singers journeyed to New York where they performed in Carnegie Hall during the winter holidays.

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, professional honorary fraternity for outstanding men in music, was founded nationally in 1898. Gamma Tau chapter was installed at IU in 1947.

To be eligible for membership, a student must be a sophomore, have had one semester of study on campus, and have a good scholastic record. Members are selected bi-annually by the unanimous vote of the active members.

The purpose of the fraternity is to advance the cause of music in America, to foster the mutual welfare and brotherhood of students of music, to develop a fraternal spirit among its members and to encourage loyalty to the Alma Mater. At the convention at Ball State Teacher's College in February, each chapter gave a small program and all of the chapters combined to give a concert.

Together with Sigma Alpha Iota, Phi Mu Alpha sponsored a Freshman Honors Recital in the Fall. This recital presented several outstanding freshman music students to the public. Phi Mu Alpha also sponsored the annual allAmerican concert to foster contemporary music on the campus.

The objectives of the organization are to uphold the highest ideals of a musical education, to raise the standards of productive musical education, to raise the standards of productive musical work among women students and to further the development of music in the United States. It also gives moral and material aid to its members and promotes the welfare of the musical profession.

The national organization supports an international music fund for replenishment of libraries in foreign countries and for loans. Sigma Alpha Iota also supports a foundation for awarding scholarships to Fontainbleau, the Berkshire Music Center, and Interlochen Music Camp.
