Musical Course. Piano—We use the Grand Conservatory method, which embraces the best and most
practical studies gleaned from the works of over 30 of the standard writers. The course embraces 12 books, on
completion of which we grant a Diploma. Voice—School of Singing, by Dr. Fred. Root, is our book on Voice
Culture, and will be found of more practical value to the pupil than the great majority of exercises, so-called. Dr.
Root is a successful teacher of voice. A Diploma. Is given in Voice Culture, provided the pupil completes
Harmony and Piano in [its] connection. Organ—In Organ we recognize that the great majority desire to learn to
play Sunday school and church music; therefore, we use the best instructors, but give much time to the music that
is wanted and appreciated in every home. We do not give Diploma in Organ, only in connection with Teacher
Course. Violin and Cornet—We do not graduate in either of these instruments; however, we use the best
exercises and pieces of the day, and have been very successful with these instruments. Harmony and
Counterpoint—Richter’s Manual of Harmony is our textbook; and, since it.is used in all the leading music
schools, we need not speak of its merits. We aim to make it practical, not only to enable the pupil to understand
chords, but to compose and arrange music for voices or instruments. On completion of the textbook we give a
Diploma. [Music] Teachers’ Course— This course includes a knowledge of Organ, Harmony, and Voice
Culture, to which is added a coarse of training in Class Teaching, intended for those who desire to follow the
profession of teaching. The time was, when a person who could lead in social singing or who knew a few tunes,
was called a teacher; but now it is required of a man not only to be a good singer and good in Theory and
Harmony, but also that he have the best methods and be able to present his lesson in a systematic way. Therefore,
we have arranged a Teachers’ Course, including studies named above, and also works on methods of teachings.
We will not grant a Diploma in this course on less than 1 year’s study, when, we give Diploma and guarantee a
position.
