students to meet and study with one OF
the leading New York teachers AT or near
their own homes, and this is Mr.. Tubbs'
first season in a Southern city. The
expense of ravel and residence in New
York IL thus avoided. "
Mr.. ..Tubbs has made for himself an
enviable position nsnonS the vocal teach
ers of New York and. in doing so, has
reaped experience of the most substan-
tial. practical and valuable kind. His
early musical education was prosecuted
at Boston. where for five years he stud
led with the best teachers and music
directors of that city. Among these
We're Lyman Wheeler. Carlyle Pete: silica.
IL. j. Lang. and Carl Ierrahn. He then
went 10 a Western city as a teacher
and soon won the leading pluce as Vocal
Teacher. Choir and Choral Society Con-
ductor. Hiy ambition led him then to
the larger field of New York, but as
preparation fer this change he went 10
Europe, II studied for seveyul years.
His teachers were Manuel Garcia 9TH In
ventor of the laryngoscope), Emil Behn-
- - NV ! IMAM
Shakespeare (perhaps the most popular
vocal teacher in the .world). and Antonio
Sanst0vanni Crainer of hundreds OF ope-
IA artists. In 1885, Mr.. Tubbs settled
in New York. He was soon called upos

the eWi Choral Society and the Len

for the dissemination of musical educa-
tt5n. of which college he is the President
and musical director. Students from
this College ia few are noted below

ties throughout the land. Perhaps the
work which has given Mr.. Tubes most
note Is founding AID editing the Vocalist.
