"We decided on the need

—Manno
The significant element of progress is
to provide an opportunity [for student
teachers] to teach in an academic setting,"
said Manno. In the past, instructors also
included faculty members of the music
department, but this semester all the
instructors are advanced music students.
The students of the YMC are grouped
according to age, experience and matur¬
ity, after going through a parent-child
interview and an individual interview.
"I think its (YMC) to provide a good,
well-rounded class in musk for the child
in their skill with a particular instrument,"
said Faith Wenger, a piano instructor and
a post-graduate student in education with
Wenger, who has been with the YMC
for a year, teaches three piano classes two
days a week. On Wednesday, her 4 p.m.
class consisted of three 11-year-old girls.
"I also sing," said Kim Berrett, one of
Wenger s students. Kim, a petite 11-year-
old with chestnut brown hair, has been
taking piano lessons with the YMC for
three semesters now. A student at Dry
Creek Elementary School in Clovis, Kim
. was the title character in • local produc¬
tion of "Annie."
"I want to play the harp, too," said Col¬
leen McCauIey, who's also a three-semester
veteran. She said she likes piano as well as
keeping an interest for the harp open. Col¬
leen played "Concert Tone" on the piano
for the class. After, Wenger asked the
class for suggestions or comments.
"I practice a half hour every day or 15
minutes." said Kim Simmons, another
she thinks piano is fun and has a brother
who is taking another YMC course.
After all three girls played individually,
Wenger joined in and they all played
together. At the end of the class, assign¬
ments were given and Wenger•» 5 p.m.
class began arriving. A Piano Fair recital
is held at the end of each semester.
Wenger, who has also taught privately
said she thinks beginners are easier to
teach and get them organized because
they're all at the same level. She added,
some students accelerate in learning while
others are not as fast
"I think the experience of studying in a
claw is beneficial for beginning students
and develops an aware ness for them,"said
Wenger.
"Students with a musk degree will
probably .teach," said Manno. The YMC
instructors must take the pedagogy classes
which is a careful examination of how to
teach piano. The students study music
books and other materials to decide which
are best to use for teaching.
Manno is the only faculty member who
is also a YMC instructor.'She observes
other classes and provides feedback, and
she meets with the instructors on a regular

semester. Most are piano students but the
program also offers clarinet, trumpet,
chorus and others. The fee for each course
is S115 for the semester which includes the
cost of method books and materials. If a
student wants to take another course, the
additional cost is SS7. Classes meet late
afternoon weekdays and on Saturdays
mornings because of the students school
"We decided on the need for quality
musical education in a professional aca¬

President's quintet soothes cultural barriers
By Mark 8.
Staff Writer
What can bring South Africans,
Americans and the people of Taiwan
together during the middle of a warm,
humid winter?
Classical chamber musk, of course.
Five CS U F students spent two weeks
in Taiwan during January playing—
among things—the national anthem of
the Re public of China and the national
anthem of the Republic of South Africa.
As members of The President s Quintet,
these students, accompanied by their
instuctor and his wife, toured the
mountainous terrain of Taiwan wi|> a
group of 60 South African musicians.
As guests of toe Pacific Cultural'
Foundation — a public relations-type
organization for Taiwan—the quintet
had only to buy round trip airfare to
enjoy two weeks of travel in the Re¬
public of China. They were boarded at
only the finest hotels, and, as horn
player Andrew McAffee said, "they
treated us like kings "
Although each student bought round
trip airfare for $850, the five musicians
each receive $1250 in scholarship grants
annually as members of The President'
Quintet, which meets three times a
week to practice for two hours.
The quintet performed in Taiwan
twice a week, for a total of four
The audiences in Taiwan were very
moved by the groups performance of
the Repulkof China . national anthem,
sometimes the Chines* Nationals
would drown out the quintet when it
played in a small auditorium.
After spending its first week per¬
forming alone, the quintet met and
traveled with a group of 60 South
African students during the remaining
week in Taiwan. In anticipation of this
meeting, the CSUF students learned
and rehearsed the national anthem
of the Republic of South Africa;
They were very touched that we
played it for them, " said Marcus
Nance, clarinet player for the quintet.
Nance also said that the quintets
coach, Dr. James Winter, and his wife,
got along well with the instructors of
the South African students, and that
students and instructors often travelled
in separate vehicles.
"Ithkkataofpw^tedon'turjderttajKr
how well ws can get along [with the -,
South Africans]," said Nance. "We
learned a tot about each other's'
countries that we didnt know," he
continued.
for the group, Dr. Winter and other
members of the musk department are
"trying to set up some kind of relatkns
between the South Africans and the
university.
Rufus Acosta, bassoon player for
the quintet, said that about three-fifths
of the South African students were women.
