SHOSTAKOVICH: Symphony No. I in F Major, Op. 10 Prelude in E Flat Minor Entr'Acte from Lady Macbeth of Mzensk Symphony of the Air conducted by Leopold Stokowski UNITED ARTISTS UATC 2209 4 track, 71/2 ips $7.95....39 min. This tape of music of Dimitri Shosta- kovitch can be highly recommended tin all counts. Musically, it contains one of the WEBCOR IS BUILT most original, inspired Russian symphonies, and the Prelude in E Flat Minor, as orchestrated by Stokowski, is a stunning tour de force of epic proportions. The only debit is the Entr'Acte which is flashy, but devoid of musical interest.
z Stokowski first recorded the Symphony No. 1 almost thirty years ago with the Philadelphia Orchestra. In this new record- ing he elicits superb playing from the - s Symphony of the Air. Sonically, this tape is magnificent, with ideal spread and depth, although the orchestra has a rather light texture. The bass drum has a resounding thump certain to delight those with equip- ment capable of reproducing it properly, . and the overall sound has a crystalline .i clarity. r All in all, a distinguished release, worthy of any rape library.-R.

from the Editors
WE DECIDED TO DEVOTE this issue entirely to learning with magnetic tape for a number of reasons. While tape is acknowledged to be the best method of re- producing music, this use has long overshadowed the use of the recorder as a learning device.
* , , * , * * * * * *
SINCE THE NATIONAL DEFENSE Education Act was passed a few years ago, schools have been able to obtain funds for audio-visual equipment that they only dreamed about before. As a citizen and taxpayer, we believed that you would be interested to see how some of your tax dollars are being spent. . * * * * * * * * *
THE AVAILABILITY OF these funds, on a matching basis to the states, has almost overnight brought the full scale language lab. into being. The growth and the number of installations have caught educators flatfooted with their research yet to be done.
, * * * * * * ,
THIS LAST IS NOT too surprising since the people responsible for funding research under the act have been very remiss in not allotting money to investigate the basic fundamentals of tape teaching. Most of the money seems to have gone to the more glamorous closed-circuit TV or video recording as a teaching aid, or to projects that will settle the difference twixt tweedle-dum and tweedle- dee. than nailing down the basics of a workhorse like magnetic tape.
BUT BEYOND ITS GREAT growth in the schools, principally in the teaching of foreign languages to our children, tape has a large spot in adult education in the home. Already there are a number of "tapespondence" schools and we predict there will be more. * * * * * * * * *
FOR THE FIRST TIME in any publication, we are able to present a composite catalog of all commercially available educational tapes. The material available covers a wide range of interests and most of these tapes are as suitable for home use as they are for schools.
* * * , * , , * . *
QUITE FRANKLY. WE WERE pleasantly surprised at the quantity and the quality, even though it meant burning much midnight oil to get the catalog complete for this issue. And the production continues! We would estimate that, at this writing, there are about one-third as many educational tapes as there are four -track stereo tapes.
* * * , . * * * * *
THE FEATURE OF being able to record on one track of the tape while listening to the other, pioneered in home -type machines by V -M with its Add -A -Track, opens new doors to the learning of foreign languages at home for the principle is exactly the same as is used in the most modern language labs. However, this is not limited to language learning, it is equally good for music, speech, dramatics and other things.
* * * * . * * , * * * *
THE BASIS OF THE tape recorder's ability as an educational tool is the fact that it can record and play back. Thus for any learning situation, at home, or in school, tapes may be prepared to fit the subjecu it is desired to learn. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination. * * * * * * *
LIKEWISE FOR THE first time, is presented a complete glossary of terms used in language lab work and specifications. This has been done by Mr. Bernard Cousino. Chairman of the Magnetic Educational Equipment and Accessories Section of the Magnetic Recording Industry Association. We feel that these definitions are a real contribution.

The listening post or listening room-As the name im- plies this installation provides for listening only. For this reason it can often conveniently be located in the school library. The equipment comprises tables which have been wired and equipped with jacks, earphones, and one or a combination of centrally located tape players from which ._5 programs can be piped to various positions.
