One of our readers, Mrs.
J. K., asks: “Why are op-
eras ans symphonies refer-
red to as classical music?’’
Most people have a ten-
dency to call any music oth-
er than comic or "pop” by
the term classical. Since this
is such a common error, the
term has become generally
used. However, to be abso-
lutely correct classical mu-
sic is that which was writ-
ten during the Classical Per-
iod of music history. This
period of time is also called
the Period of Hayden and
Mozart, who composed dur-
ing the middle and late eigh-
teenth century. Music such
as symphonies, operas, con-
certos, etc. written at any
other time would best be
referred to as “serious mu-
sic”.
Also from a reader was
this question:
“My daughter has decid-
ed she wants to take music
lessons. She has selected the
quitar as the instrument she
wants to play, but I’m not
sure she will stick with it.
What can I do to encourage
her and keep up her in-
terest?”
Hhe most important thing
you can do is to take a posi-
tive : attitude. Please don’t
ken third in Girls’ Poetry;
Kenneth Barrett won third
in Boys’ Prose Reading; Ja
Dorr and Kathy Kaplan won
second in Duet Acting; Mike
Caplan and Kuang Lee won
third in Debate.
Certificates of Excellence
were Awarded to: Kenneth

McManus, Melinda Smith,
tell your child as many peo-
ple do, “You can try it for a
month and if you don’t like
it you can quit.” In the first
place, people who do this
give their children a defeat-
ist attitude before they ever
get started. In the second
place, a month is not enough
time to lay a proper back-
ground or for her to find
out whether or not she real-
ly likes it. This also is not
fair to the teacher who co-
uld fill that lesson time with
a more promising student.
Every music student must be
taught that there are no short
cuts to learning. A musical
education takes time, prac-
tice and patience.
