The Chicago Herald of June oath says
miss Clara Munger, who formerly taught
singing in this city. has just returned from
four years study abroad. She first went to
Paris to Nine. La Grange, with whom she re.
manned two years. She then went to Dele
Sedie, the eminent master, who did the most
OF the work in training Mme Nelson's voice,
and whom she thinks to be the best teacher of
singing in the world. Miss Munger spent six
months with Deacon in London, and the last
year she has been with Redel in Leipsic, study
ing German song. Miss Munger was considered
contralto before she went abroad, but her
voice is now rated as dramatic mezzo So
prano. Her method is singularly pure, and
she sings with great taste and feeling. We
understand that she will give an evening of
song before she returns to the East when
there will be room to speak of her qualities at
greater length"
