SOCIETY OF WOMEN MUSICIANS
The September meeting of the So ciety of Women Musicians was held last week. Subjects under discussion were " Competitions " and " Common Faults in Singing and Piano Playing." Miss Irene Earth introduced the discussion on competitions by asking various questions and inviting members to consider the answers. Several members spoke on the subject, including Miss Logie, who maintained that the spirit of competition was not favourable to the best development of talent, and Miss Rona Thompson, who considered that the holding of public competitions was conducive to greater effort and a higher standard on the part of competitors. Miss Paine spoke on common faults, in singing, and other members joined in genera] discussion on both subjects. Items were interspersed, the programme being as follows:—Piano solo. Brahm's B minor Phapsody, Joyce Workman; songs. "A Merry Pastorale " (Rowley): "My Truelove Hath Mv Heart" (Mary Plumstead); "Molly-O" (Rowley), Joyce Ashion; piano solo. "Chromatic Fantasia " (Bach). May Farquharson; songs. "Cradlesong" and "The Rose Hath Charmed the Nightingale" (RimskyKorsakoff). Mrs Ellis.
