The Three "T's" of Music

Abstract

"AS a new teacher whose enthusiasm has not yet been dimmed by years of routine travail I have observed and drawn several conclusions in regard to student musicians," writes Mr. Cantwell, who is instrumental teacher (band and orchestra director) at Sparrows Point High School, Baltimore County, Maryland. "I believe that the coining of such cliches as 'the Three T's' tends to make children more aware of the important things in music. Some of my observations are obvious, but I think many of us overlook these obvious, but nevertheless vital, factors in the production of fine musicians."
