Carrie Stone Freeman was the state chairman of music for the Los Angeles and Southern districts of the California Federation of Women's Clubs and strongly believed that one should learn music by listening to nature. She is quoted in the *Oxnard Courier* speaking on the subject, "Trying to catch the notes of the birds not only gives a person the opportunity to learn some of the truest sound values, but it also trains the ear." A rather uncommon and charming publication by an early 20th century American woman composer.
