work for beginners, starting at the very
beginning and learning to read music.
Another hour is given to the more ad-
vanced singers, with music adapted to
their tastes and requirements. Professor
Wight has made the teaching of singing
his business for something like twenty
years, with good success everywhere.
The organization of this class gives q
good opportunity to all singers, more
especially to beginners. The class
meets Saturday and Monday evenings,
and an extra session will be held this
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
