sion 10 refer in laudatory terms TO Prof. Wo-
iowski's new and decidedly improved method
OF teaching the piano and singing. Previously
con WINGED of his theory of divesting the sci

which IL has so long been clothed, and at once
imparting To the pupil in a simple form a
anxious TO test It's practical results. That op-
portunity was afforded US the other evening
ut the Professors rooms, No 45l Tenth street
where we heard several ladies and gentlemen
play and sing at sight and who had no pre-
yious knowledge of music. We regret to state
that Prof Wolowski commences his last course
dfnce in New York. Ali those who wish to
become fine performers or excellent singers
have the finest opportunity before them.
