MUSICAL DEPAR TMSN-T
The Department Of Music is under the super
vision of one Of the most accurate and accom-
p!ished teachers in the State; and it is bcllevc'
that unusual facilities are afforded FOR acqulrln!
thorough knowledge Of this difficult science
In addition to regular private lessons, the pupil
in this department are divided into classes, an'
taught on the plan of Pestai"zzi.
They devote much time to exercises, adaptct
to train the car and the voice, and to impart al
easy and brilliant execution.
If they pursue the prescribed course OF musl
cal instruction, they acquire the art OF readin,
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. Th
science of Elocuton is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visite
hv LARGE number of the ladies and gcntlenc
Of our village, who have invariably cxpresse
the highest degree of satisfaction, at what the
have heard and seen of the proficiency OF tn
Pupils and the arrangement Of the institute
And the Trustees have only to add in concl'
sion. that while in their opinion, there are man
institutions of learning deservedly popular in 0,
State, yet there are none which can furnis
Greater or more substantial advantages to your
Iodies than that under the charge Of MIR. RA
NoSD.
