New Musician Program

Aids Small Communities

‘The Canadian Council has
announced a new program to
help amall communities acquire
the services of a resident
professional musician,

Director of the council,
Charles Lussier, speaking at
the annual conference of the
Canadian Music Council in
Guelph, said the new program
reflects the council's twofold
concern that many small and
remote communities are rarely
fortunate enough to have well-
trained: resident professional
musicians of top calibre, and
that “gifted artists are often
forced to find work in other
countries or lo supplement
their incomes in large cities
with work outside their profes-
sion.”

Mr. Lussier sees the new
program, in which a specially
chosen “€ommunity musician”
will receive a grant in the order
of $10,000 to $15,000 for one
year (with possible extension to
two years), as benefiting not
only the communities but also
the artists themselves. “We
think they will find thelr work
rewarding,” he said, “both in
artistic and personal terms,”

v neil, which has eet
aside $100,000 for the program
for the coming year, will choose
the musicians—which may in-

, elude composers, instrumental-

ists, singers or chamber music
ensembles—and will invite ap-
plications from community or-
ganizations that may wish to
have them.

Applicants might include
municipalities, community arts
councils, churches, service
clubs, orchestras and choirs,
(The criterion by which the
organizations will be chosen (by
council jury) will be the extent
to which they are able to
support and carry on the work

+ of the professional during the
residency and after.

The projects that the com-
munity musicians may initiate
could include the formation of

+ choirs, orchestras, chamber

groups, study groups, and so °

‘on. The artists will be chosen on

- the basis of their professional

competence and their potential

ability to integrate into the

community and provide leader-
ship.

‘The new program provides

for two categories of resident

+ artists: 1) “community musi-

cians,".who will stay for one
year or two; and 2) “Visiting
musicians," who may recelve up
to $500 a week (including fees
and per diem allowances), to
work on projects such ag
summer camps, schools and *
workshops,

The council is allowing
leeway for change in this first
experimental year, sald Mr,
Lussier. “The accent will bo on
Mexibility, until we get a
clearer picture of what the
needs are.”

The Community Musicians
program {s scheduled to begin
in the fall of 1976, and an
explanatory brochure and ap-
plication forms will be available
shortly.

Artists who may be inter.
ested in this type of work and
organizations that may wish to
apply for acommunity musician
are invited to get in touch with

Parenthood Shunned; Parents
Gelling Little Ald frem Society

People are choosing not to
have children because parent-
hood me an unat-
tractive prospect, Margery
King, director of the Canadian
Council of Children and Youth,
said recently in Calgary.

She said in an interview
there is little assistance, from
socicty to parents, “We're quite
punitive in our approach.”

Parents usually are left to
a a to bring up
children, often with little exper-
ience or advice from older
family members to fall back on.

“Then, when something
goes wrong, we place all the
blame on the parents.”

Single mothers often are
worse off because when they
have troubles, society takes the
children away rather than
helping to deal with problems,
Dr. King said.

“Years ago, there always
was someone available in the
family, like a grandmother or a
maiden aunt. In addition, do-
mestic help was readily avail-
able.” *

She also said society has
replaced some of the functions
of offspring, leaving even less
incentive for a couple tu repro-
duce.

Extra hands to help with
farm chores have been replaced
by machinery, she said, and
old-age pensions reduce the
need to have children as
-protection for parents in old
age.

Besides, she said, children
used to leave school at 15 and
supplement the family income,
but now they continue their

ing children financial abilities
instead of assets.

Since children are the way
society is perpetuated, she said,
society must be prepared to
support persons who choose to
have children,

Dr. King also advocated a
program of preparation. for
parenthood through the school
system because “lots of girls
are becoming parents without
ever having held a baby in their
arms.”
