This is the basic philosophy that Ella Jenkins brings to educators in her two music workshops, "Adventures in Music" and "Adventures in Rhythm." The American Music Conference recently cited Miss Jenkins for her innovativa teaching techniques. They are creative and interesting. "Children are surrounded at by music every day home, in church, in stores, even in the streets," she said. "The teacher can build on this musical experience and use it to advantage in all aspects of class work." Her workshops consist of a "sample" class during which she demonstrates how to involve the child in music. This is followed by discussions with educators assuming the roles of students. These techniques include teaching them how to play simple rhythm instruments, rhyming and counting songs, idiscussions of the instruments they are playing and some cultural information. A composer, arranger and musician equally adept on guitar, ukulele and drums, Miss Jenkins is also in demand for concerts. But her major efforts are expanded in presenting clinics and" workshops for teachers, administrators and civic leaders involved in Headstart and kindergarten programs. "Children love to make music," she said. "They become involved in sharing musical experiences with their classmates and receive satisfaction from being able to create pleasant sounds. "More than this," she added, "music offers the teacher an opportunity to enrich the child's entire school experience." Ella Jenkins cited this example for kindergarteners or preschoolers: "I often recommend that teachers to introduce instruments children one at a time.

Educators who accompanied the children to those early programs and saw her efforts reflected in the youngsters' enthusiasm asked her to present similar live demonstrations in their schools for other faculty members. And about 16 years ago she found that these requests were becoming frequent enough to warrant total devotion to this project. She left the YMCA music to become a education clinician. "One of the major points that I stress in all my clinics and workshops," she said, "is that teachers must share in the learning experience. If they enjoy what they are doing the children will, too." quent appearances field trips are essential. "A can enhance, a teacher child's appreciation of mu?ic by taking the class to a music store. There children can see instruments of all types from all over the world. The teacher should arrange a demonstration of how they are played and the sounds they malce. "Back in the classroom she can have pictures of the instruments in use and the different situations in which they are used. And if it can be arranged, they should be taken to a factory to see how the instruments are made. "I try to get the children to use themselves in the music lesson," Ella said, "to snap their fingers, to hop, skip, clap, hit the drums to move freely." A graduate sociologist from San Francisco State, Miss Jenkins returned to Chicago (where she grew up) in 1952 to direct the YMCA teen program and work with community groups.

Some of the Ellington albums were based on concerts made several years ago, such as "The Great Paris Concert" and "A (Atlantic) Tribute to Duke Ellington-- We Love You Madly" (Verve). Then there was that fine recording of "Yale Concert" by Ellington and his orchestra (Fantasy). There were many good jazz albums by other artists, a good indication that this art form will remain with us. When it comes to picking the "Cleopatra Jones" (Warner Bros) had a good upbeat.

In recent years Billy Taylor more and more became appreciated by a growing number of music lovers for the originality, simplicity, and refinement of both his playing and his works. When Mr. Abravanel heard Billy Taylor improvise at the piano a few months ago, he asked the composer whether he had ever written for full orchestra and inquired whether he would be interested in writing a piece for piano and orchestra in the same vein as he had played. The result will be performed on January 25, a work in which the piano part will be completely improvised and yet integrated with the ASSN.)

The organization of the book is chronological. However, it does reflect a topical emphasis. One could well enjoy a chapter or section in isolation because of its focus. There is little criticism of the facts presented in the book. This work is not an interpretive history. Although the Mormon role is positively and accurately presented, the author has attempted and in most cases succeeded in bVoadening the iiistorical base for the state beyond the usual "Mormon" emphasis. The chapters on Indians, mountain men, Spanish influences, and personalities and factors are well documented. One of the major assets of this book is the emphasis given to the Few period since statehood. authors of similar works have dealt with the Twentieth Century in Utah as well as Ellsworth.
