DE CHAUVENET
CONSERVATORY
ENLARGED

The De Chauvenet Conservatory of
Music and Dramatic Art, which is
commodiously located in the T. f. B.
building, S45 South Figueroa street.
mas recently issued its new and COM
plete catalogue for the coming year.
This school is rapidly gaining ground
through sincere and earnest efforts
with each pupil and the encouragement
of lofty ambition with the development
of the true self, while acquiring mu-
steal knowledge and skill.
In the new catalogue is set forth a
full and complete graded course of
study, which shows thorough and
comprehensive knowledge of the work
to be done.
On account of the growing needs of
the school five new teachers have been
engaged for the coming year, together
with those aiding in the free advan-
tages of musical history, musical ped
agogy, sight reading, ear training and
excellent instruction in harmony.
One of the new features for the COM
ing year is the musical kindergarten,
whereby children under IA years of
age, not familiar with the notes of
the keyboard, may be easily and thor
oughly taught the rudimentary prin-
ciples of instrumental music, the fol-
lowing points being readily grasped
viz: the staff, notes and rest values,
keyboard location, rhythmic movements
and finger calisthenics, elements of
harmony, musical history and ear
training, etc, thus giving a solid foun-
dalton for future work.
The languages German, French
Italian and Spanish-have been in
cluded in the course and are taught
by capable and experienced instructors
who speak their native tongues with
fiuepcy.
The dramatic art department is I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. W. H.
Wright, who graduated from the Lin
coin university in oratory and dramatic
art and travelled through Europe and
America giving Shakespearean recitals
with the greatest of success.
Another interesting feature for the
year will be course of lectures on
musical history and musical pedagogy,
and will be given semi-monthly. These
lectures will treat of the origin of
music and kindred subjects, down to
the present day, bringing into promi-
nence all the great masters and their
contemporaries of the present day.
These lectures will be given by some
of the best known and experienced
lecturers and educators in the CITY.
among whom are Miss Armstrong of
Hollywood, James A. Foshay, Mr.. w.
Bowers of the Times, Ferdinand Par
mentier, Mrs. Isadore Myers and pos
sibly Paul de Longpre.
Numerous other teachers and edu-
Gators will assist and their names will
be announced later. One free and one
partial scholarship will be given to
talented pupils unable to pay full tut
ton.
The conservatory. orchestra and en-
semble work will receive special at
tention.

/ ULIUS v. SEYLER, for eighteen
years a concert pianist and teach
er of piano, harmony and compo-
sition at Detroit, Mich, is the latest
distinguished addition to the music
colony at Blanchard hall. Mr.. Seyler
came to Los Angeles a few weeks ago
as the guest of his sister, Mrs. Alvick
A. Pearson of Pasadena, expecting to
go on to Portland later and to spend
the winter there. He has now ADAM
doned these plans and decided to re-
main in Los Angeles, asserting that he
has never seen more idealcommunity
or more promising outlook, unsteady,
socially and commercially. During his
short stay here Mr.. Seyler has met
scores of former Detroit residents and.
a number of his former pupils, all of
whom have urged him to open studios
here. Mr.. Seyler studied piano with
Xavier Scharwenka and theory under
Heinrich Urban at Berlin. In his home
state his reputation both as a teacher
and as a concert pianist is recognized
and his musicianly qualities thoroughly
appreciated, and 1t is safe to prophesy
that this able musician will gain an
appreciative following in and about
Los Angeles. Mr.. Seyler will also open
a studio in Pasadena, where his sister
resides and where he expects to spend
a portion of each week.
The Musical Leader OF Chicago re-
Gently spoke editorially of Mr.. Seyler
as follows:
"His own technical attachments, his
musical breadth and his general Gull
ture, coupled with a peculiar ability
to impart to others not only the knowl-
edge but also the artistic atmosphere,
have given julius ". Seyler a reputa
ton that is by no means confined to
Detroit. But while he has heretofore
been best known as teacher. he has
during the past few years been grad
ually endeavoring to escape in part the
enervating toll of teaching in order to
give his strength to concert work and
have time to devote to the enormous
labor necessary before any one can in
this age hope to succeed before the
public. Mr.. Seyler's success has been
marked in ali the work he has done in
this line, and in view of the efforts he
is making all the time to advance and
develop 1t is likely that greater things
are in store for him. Aside from purely
musical attachments he has the genial
faculty of getting into close contact
and on easy terms with his audience"

ground that it was his vacation and
that he was here only for rest and
pleasure. Bernstein is expecting to re-
