In addition to regular private lessons, the pupils
in this department arc divided into classes, and
taught on the plan Of Pestalozz
They devote much time TO exercises, adapted
to train the ear. and the voice, and to impart an
easy and brilliant execution.
II they pursue the prescribed course Of musi-
cal instruction, they acquire the art Of reading
music with facility.
They arc 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 Eloeution is here applied, in develop
ing the voice for singing, with great effect.
The Institution has been almost weekly visited
bv 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 and the arrangement Of the Institute.
And the Trustees have only to add in conclu-
sion, that while in their opinion, there are many
institutions Of learning descryedly popular in our
State, yet there are none which can furnish
greater or more substantial advantages to young
Ladies than that under the charge Of Mr.. RAY
