A Musical Conservatory In Mount
Uo17~x


The Mount Holly School for Young La
dies will add to its attractions for the
coming year a Musical Conservatory,
which will prove great advantage to
musical education in this community.
The leading instructor will be Miss
Mary G. KimbaIl, whose education and
experience afford ground for expecting
the hest results.
In addition to years of early instruction
under skilled teachers, Miss Kimball has
had the advantage of year in the Utica
Conservatory, a frst-class institution of
which Mr.. Louis Lombard is the director,
and four years training in the New Eng
land Conservatory in Boston, the leading
Conservatory in America and the largest
in the world
In Boston she was pupil in piano of
the present director, Carl Faelten in
harmony, of Stephen A. Emery in the
DRY, of Louis G. Elson in voice, of Frank
Morse and William Durham.
THE CLASS METHOD
of instruction in music will be followed.
1t is the best method Says Felix Mem
delssohn Bartholdy .-"By the participa-
ton of several pupils in the same lesson
and in the same studies, true musical
feeling is awakened and kept fresh among
the pupils; this promotes industry, and
spurs on to emulation, and is a preserva-
tive from one-sidedness of education and
tasten
The class training has been advocated,
not only by Mendelssohn, but by Cheru-
bini, Moscheles, David. Vieuxtemps List,
Won Bulow-in short, by the best in
structors in music.
In the class, the student is better able
to discern a blunder made by another than
by himself In the privacy of room,
with only the teacher to face, the pupil
can better afford to display apathy and
slovenliness, than before hypercritical
class mates. Instruction to one is instrnc-
ton to all. Nervousness can be overcome
only by playing frequently before others.
The desire to equal or surpass others slim
ulates the student. He hears, he sees, he
feels, he understands and memories all
that the teacher approves in others
While hearing others play he becomes &C.
quainted with the vast repertoire and he
unconsciously learns to criticise with ac-
curacY.
By the class plan the student Of moder-
ate means secures the services of better
teachers and more thorough training than
can otherwise be afforded. Each pupil
has the advantage of the entire hour, and
learn how to teach by seeing others
taught.
THE REDUCTION OF EXPENSE
is as striking as the improvement in in.
struction, For quarter of nine weeks,
two full hour lessons each week, the rate
will be as follows:
Piano, for beginners, each. (classof four
$500.
Piano, advanced grade, (class of four
$500.
Piano, beginners, one lesson per week,
(class of FOUR, $500.
Piano, advanced grade. one lesson per
week, (class of FOUR, $500.
Voice. beginners, each (class of four,
$500.
Voice. advanced, each (clsss of four)
$500.
Voice, beginners, one lesson per week.
each (class of FOUR, $4 90.
Voice, advanced grade, one lesson per
week, (class of FOUR, $780,
This scheme brings the best kind Of in
struction in piano and voice for full hour
lessons down to the surprisingly low rate
of thirty-three cents per lesson, which all
can afford to pay.
Pupils in music only, will have no other
tuition to pay than the above rates.
The prices for beginners are made low
not because it is less laborious to instruct
those who know nothing Of music, but
because it is more desirable to form the
first habits of the pupils correctly, than to
teach those who have acquired a faulty
execution.
Private lessons will also be given when
desirable.
