MUSICAL DgPAR 37MEN 7.
The Department Of Music is under the super
visiun of one Of the most accurate and accom-
p!ishcd teachers in the State: and it is believed
that unusual facilities are afforded for acquiring
thorough knowledge of this difficult science
In addition to regular private lessons, the pupils
in this department are divided into classes, and
taught on the plan Of Pestalozz.
They devote much time to exercises, adapted
to train the ear. aud the voice, and to oimpart al
easy and brilliant execution.
If they pursue the prescribed course Of musi-
cal instruction, they acquire the art of reading
music with facility.
They are required to be regular and systcmat.
ic in practising daily at the Institute.
The training and cultivation Of the voice
receive an unusual degree Of attention. The
science of Elocution is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visitee
by large number Of the ladies and gentlemen
Of our village, who have invariably expressed
the highest degree Of satisfaction. at what they
have heard and seen Of the proficiency of the
Pupils anl the arrangement Of the Institute
And the Trustees have only to add in conclu
sion. that while in their opinion. there are man!
institutions of learning desrrvrdly popular in on
State. vet there are none which can furnsl
greater or more substantial advantages to youn!
