January 18, 1918 Music Examinations Of the many beautiful voices existing in the Wimmera, few of their possessors care to qualify for their singing examinations. The very successful pass awarded to Miss Jessica A. DALKIN, of Stawell, in singing, intermediate grade at the examination of the Associated Board of the R.A.M. and R.C.M., London, in the Town Hall Stawell, on December 8, is therefore worthy of special notice. Miss DALKIN has a lyric soprano voice trained and developed with professional assistance by Mr G.P. FRAYLING, Horsham. In addition to the usual technical material and sight reading, the examination comprised the songs "As Butterfly that Blindly" (by Scarlatti) "Water Parted from the Sea" (by Dr Arne) and "Fantasia" (by Sir F.H. Cowen), the long B in alt in the final phase of the latter song being given with ease and clearness. The successful piano forte candidates presented by Mr FRAYLING are Master John H. LOFFEL, of Dimboola, nine years of age, who scored 117 points in the primary grade, Miss Winnie WRIGHT, elementary, and Miss Eileen COLES intermediate, also in rudiments Miss CLEMENTS. This brings the total passes of Mr FRAYLING's pupils up to 145, including five diplomas. It is announced that he will recommence tuition at Natimuk on Tuesday, February 5.
