B. Additional Music Classrooms at River Forest
° ; (Memorial 125)
A concomitant of the increase in enrollment at Concordia
Teachers College is the need for additional suitable classroom

space for academic music courses. Since the student body is now «4

entirely in the College Department and the curriculum on the
senior college level demands a broader selection of courses, a
greater number of classrooms are necessary to carry on the
academic educational program.

The courses offered in music, such as sight singing and ear
training, vocal technique, keyboard harmony, hymnology and
liturgics, school music, orchestration, and choral technique and

conducting require either singing, the playing of instruments, or A
the playing of recorded music for demonstration and analysis. As |.

these courses have been added to the curriculum, the music classes

tend more and more to disturb the other academic work carried

on in the Administration Building.

Since there is a definite need for more classroom space, and
since the academic offerings in music have become more com-
plete in order better to provide for the needs of the field, the
practical solution is to build the classroom wing planned for the
new Music Building. This arrangement will facilitate the work
of the music program and also relieve the pressure on the present

classroom space. The proposed wing is planned also to provide for _.

the growing record library and to include listening rooms for the
study of recorded music literature. Carefully drawn architectural

estimates indicate that the cost of this academic wing to the Music

Building will be $75,000.

Request: We respectfully request that the sum of $75,000 be 4

granted for the classroom wing planned for our new Music Build-

ing. We further request that the sum of $3,500 be granted for the 4

equipment for this academic wing.
