...pianists Ray Lev, Tessa Bloom and Sylvia Smith. Nearly all of the great U. S. symphony orchestras have a member or two who once studied at the Music School Settlement. Of these successful alumni good-humored Director Chaffee and his staff are proud. Still prouder are they of the fact that in all of its 44 years not one of the Music School Settlement's thousands of pupils has ever been haled before a juvenile court...
