Abstract
Whenever a musician assumes the position of supervisor
of instrumental music, regardless of the size of the town or
location, his greatest problem is organization and administration.
Various methods are presented in articles and books,
but as a rule these idealistic plans are of little use in
solving a practical situation. This thesis is written with
the purpose in mind of providing a helpful plan for these
musicians. It would be impossible to cover all of the problems
in such a broad field, so the author has selected those which
are more apt to appear in numerous schools. The first five
chapters represent the result s of a survey in the Wichita
Public School instrumental departments. Chapter VI is an
analysis of this survey with suggestive methods of remedy.
These suggestions are the results of a thorough study of
works by authorities in this field and by school systems which
have proven the workability of their ideas.
