Dorothy DeLay of Neodesha, Kansas (1659 words)
Dorothy DeLay, one of the world's most famous teachers of the violin and a mentor to two generations of players died at the age of 84 in Upper Nyack, New York, where she lived, of cancer.
Dorothy DeLay was not born in Neodesha, but she grew up there with her two sisters, Nellis and Louise DeLay, at 124 North Second Street in a little bungalow.
Miss DeLay was as well known for her easygoing, direct manner and her homey advice as she was for the demanding five-hour practice regimen she recommended in which full hours were devoted to technical basics, etudes, repertory pieces, concertos and works by Bach but also in which 10-minute breaks between hours were allowed.
