Electronics Boosts LC Piano Teaching
One innovative feature at
Lee College is the electronics
piano laboratory which is a
part of the new Music Building.
This approach makes it pos-
sible to teach several students
piano lessons in a group and in-
■dividually and at the same
time.
Tom Stone and John O’Neill
shared in this teaching experi-
ence for the first time during
the fall semester in the new pi-
ano lab in the Music Building
which was added to Rundell
Hall last year. In the lab you
will see a teacher’s piano, nine
student pianos and a console of
buttons that enable the teacher
to “plug in” and listen to each
student play during the group
lesson.
The teacher and students are
equipped with earphones and
mouthpieces that keep them in
constant communication. With
each tuned in individually; the
student hears only himself play
the piano or his teacher dem-
onstrate by the console .
The teacher constantly
monitors the playing of each
student.-
Actually the console has a
capacity of handling 24 differ-
ent keyboards but the Lee Col-
lege lab would have to be much
larger to add more-pianos.-
Also, teachers believe about
eight is the ideal number for.
one group class.
The pianos in the lab have 66
keys instead of the convention-
al 88 and the electronic sound is
similar to an organ.
These pianos are used .only
for the lab. The students prac-
tice on “real” pianos in addi-
tion to their hour-long lessons
. each week.
Although Stone feels that no
electronic lab could ever take
the place of a teacher, he sees
advantages in the lab method.
The lab is enabling the college
to teach many more students
thah it could handle if only
private^lessons were given.

After she took her first state-

looked it over carefully. Shak-
ing his head, he informed Her
grimly that the statement was
completely wrong, that -the
suspect had not said one word
&ke that.,
"J was scared to death,’’
says Peggy.-“I thought I had
taken every word down just
right.” , , -
Then Rick burst out laugh-
ing. He was kidding, of course.
Peggy did get it down just
........... .■..... .-_ right. _,_—

helped prepare preliminary re-
