8 SUNDAY MORNING. 'AUGUST 28. 1932. PART MUS 1 and Musi i a MUSICIANS OF SOUTHWEST ENRICH LIFE BY EFFORTS i Philharmonic Orchestra, Grand Opera and Other Concert Plans" Promise Much in Coming Year BY ISABEL MORSE JONES Southern California music life will be more than usually active this year If plans are carried out. It is a well-known rule that when money goes down, art goes up.

Were It not for the perennial hope and vision of the artists, life would lose much of its meaning at any time. In times of need, the solace of beauty In sound and sight, Is a necessity, not an extravagance, not a plaything or a luxury to be taken or left as caprice wills. And so the musicians of the Southwest are doing their cart. i i music or tnis city centers In theMusic Society with the assisting artist, E. Robert Schmitz, Is to give CULTIVATED AMATEURS DEVELOPED Voice Trainings Influence on Physical and Spiritual Being, Stressed Bertha Vaughn, a teacher of voice in Los Angeles, who has been one of the leaders in establishing a music center in this city for a number of years and who is always at the head of her profession, takes an especial delight in turning students not designated as professionals, into cultivated amateurs.

In discussing this activity she said recently: "The Influence of the well-developed vocal student who has been rightly taught, is ever widening. The proper study of voice will influence the physical as well as the spiritual and mental being. "Students respond to voice training by presenting better built bodies, adequate breathing and muscular development and a general progress in poise, personality and charm. From a cultural standpoint such study puts one in touch with the finest poetry and prose literature in the world. A real singer must be a musician of breadth.

Singing is an outlet for emotional expression. Such an outlet is a crying need among the modern young people. i if "A I 11 ItvJ I 4 tOfnt. rrrifc----f aaaaaawarr- Philharmonic Orchestra, Just as It always aoes in any city where there Is a major orchestra.
