The young professionals at the Royal College of Music are doing their best to further music by giving free. music lessons to children in the London elementary schools. The lessons are given by scholars at the college who are preparing to become teachers and who therefore welcome opportunities of practising their craft. Piano playing, violin playing, class singing and "musical appreciation" are among the subjects and the lessons are supervised by two college professors, who also comment upon the work of the student teachers. Music at some of the London County Council schools is sufficiently advanced to allow of small choirs being entered for such a competition as the North London Musical Festival, which attracted 3600 entries. The piece rhoson for the children's choir competition was Schubert's. "To. Music." ' :
