The successful musician 1s the result of high development in a God- given gift; but appreciation of music is simply a normal faculty that is possessed by all who have not deliberately refused to listen.

The apprecia- Hon of music is a boundless pleasure; it clears the mind, stimulates the imagination, inspires higher thought, develops spiritual temperament and increases our capacity for happiness. Happiness is harmony and music is the outburst of spiritual harmony. Let no man coincide that music is foolish- i ness.
