MUSIC
Let’s Have Some Music. By Donald Hughes. Museum Press. 140 pp. This is the sort of book which makes a good birthday present. Dr. Hughes is a music adviser to the Middlesex Education Committee and he writes with infectious enthusiasm addressing himself, quite informally, to the younger set. “Music can hit you in many ways.” he writes, and proceeds to suggest a few more by which youth may be enticed to take part in it. For folk song, from popular tunes and from jazz Dr. Hughes is prepared to take his starting point and lead to “listening to classical music.” And from this there are but two directions to be taken—singing and playing an instrument. His advice on choosing a teacher and buying an instrument is helpful and stimulating. No wonder Yehudi Menuhin consented to write a significant foreword to this book.
