You can pick out the scales, chord progressions, and the muted tunes, "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and "London Bridge:· Bui i t's all very quiet. These students are using electric pianos with earphones. They can hear themselves play; the teacher can listen to students individually, talk with them without leaving his piano, and even play for them; the studen ts can play duets or listen to each other. Before 1968, when the music department bought the electric pianos for a total of $4,978.50, p iano classes v1ere noisy. In those days. two students shared the keyboard of one piano. There were six pianos in the classroom. "The d in was terrific," Richard L. Morris. professor. says. "The teacher couldn't hear himself think, much less hear the students play. They had to take turns," he says. "Silent"' pianos make the teachers' and students' class time more pleasant. They accomplish more because \Vhile the teacher works with one student, the rest call practice. And the class can be taught in almost any bulldlng without disturbing neighboring classes. Plano students have been taught in groups since about 1960. Teaching them indivi dually would be too expensive. Ken Smith, who teaches one of the beginning piano sec tio ns, says, "Some people think a group Is the only Way tg teach piano. It is very effective, gives the students a solid music background and teaches them to read music." Students like the piano class. They have to or they quit. The class meets twice a week. and requires an hour a day K en Smllh, the Instructor, helps Chrlatlna Shay find tho lost chord . of practice - for just one credit hour. Students are assigned a regular piano In a practice room in the Fine Arts Building. And some actually do p ractice seven ho urs a week; most p ractice less, but try to get In some !i me every day. An electric piano sou nds p retty much like a regular piano as you listen to yourself through the earphones. The key action, though, feels m ore llke an organ. The class is a requirement for music majors \•1ho have not reached a basic level of proficiency in piano. Some are expert on other instruments, drum or flute, for example. They already know a lot about music. The instructors say DoRe they "pick up piano" rather quickly. Some elementary education majors who musl be able to play simple songs also are required to take the course. About three-fourths of the beginners, though, just want to learn to play. Kathy Nail,f a reshman in nursing, told a M1 friend that playing the piano was her secret ambition. The friend suggesled she take the class . " You have 10 pay aboul $2.50 for a hall hour lesson pri vately. This is an economical way to learn. I don't feel that I'm gelling gypped by lhe group approach al all. t work all • • . . SHHH! week to be damn good those 10 or 15 minutes that M r. Smith Is listening to me," she says. Other students think they work harder to keep up with the rest o f the class, though everyone can go at his own speed. They like the competition of the g roup situation. And o ne g irl takes off her earphones for a m inute, smiles and says, " Isn't this w hat a liberal arts education Is all about?" She smlles again, puts on the earphones. and swings into a rousing rendition of "America the Beautiful" - very quieliy. CJ 4 / m1ssoun1 a1.umnus "You•ve got lo concentrate," B~ky Christian says.
