pupils in this department are divided into classes,
and taught on the plan Of Pcstaozzi.
They devote much time to exercises, adapted to
train the ear, and the voice, and to mpart an easy
and brilliant execution.
If they pursue the prescribed course Of musical
they acquire the art Of reading music
with facility.

The training and cultivation Of the voice receive

Elocution is here applied, in developing the voice
for singing with great effect.

vi'c all who may be passing through Edgefrld TO
