Musical Department,
The department of Music is under the supcrvi
sion of most accurate and accomplished teachers;
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 or. the, plan Of Pestalozzi.
They devote much time to exercises, adapted to
train the ear, and the voice, and to mpart an easy
and brilliant execution.
lf'thcy pursue the prescribed course of musical
instruction, they acquire the art of reading music
with facility.
They are required to be regular and systematic
in practising daily at the institute.
The training and cultivation of the voice receive
unusual degree Of attention The science Of
EI"cution is here applied, in developing the voice
for singing, with great effect.
Pupils from Charleston, and the lower Districts,
can reach Edg,fcll by the Stage, which leaves
Augusta and Hamburg three times a week, and
passes through the Village And cordially in
vite all who may be passing through Edge6eld to
visit our Institute, and satisfy themselves that no

furnished anywhere, than those which may be ell
joycd near their own homes.
