BANFF, Alta, Aug 4, 1936 (Special)

- Banff school of fine arts opened its summer course Monday morning with a registration of nearly 150 adults. In addition a large number of children were registered for course in voice, acting and plastic. The directors include E.A. Corbett, Mrs. Elizabeth Sterling Haynes. Theodore Cohen L.I.B., J.F. Smith, Viggo Kihl and G.H. Glyde. Mrs. Haynes, Mr. Cohen and Mr. Smith are in charge of theatre classes. Mr. Kihl of music and Mr. Glyde of art.

Mr. Donald Cameron, school registrar, stated Monday that this year the school was willing to accept students who were unable to attend the first two weeks of the summer course as partial students with partial fees. These may register any time within the first two weeks and get as much as possible out of the remainder of the course. Master classes in piano are being held under the guidance of Mr. Kihl in the United church hall. This is a new department for the school and judging by the interest shown will prove a very popular one.

Monday evening a general meeting with an impromptu program was arranged in the gymnasium of the school for all members.

Mr. Kihl began his first lecture Monday afternoon with an attendance of twenty pupils. Miss Marryat acted as his assistant. The professor gave a fine summary, an introduction to music. He divided it into three periods from the third to thirteenth century, from the thirteenth to the seventeenth and from that period to the present time. Art he defined as a contribution of personal experience and said that to give an artistic performance the players must not only play the proper notes but must also understand the processes in the author’s mind.

Must understand Idea

To understand long complicated pieces of music the idea behind the music must be understood and by following through and perceiving small details thus get the whole design. Mr. Kihl illustrated his lecture with records of old Greek music and old Jewish music, comparing the two and illustrating many points in his lecture by himself playing illustrative bars.

Mr. Kihl was a pupil of the great Teicmuller at the royal conservatory of Leipzig and is well known throughout the principal countries of Europe as well as in Canada. His two-hour classes in music ten in all will continue until August 14. The professor’s outstanding musical qualifications make his lectures a marked success and his fine sense of humor make an occasional lightness in the serious lectures.
