New Music System
introduced here by
Grace Menard Hughes

snake Work Play" is the name of
the new system of music instruc-
ton which Mrs. Genevieve Menard
Hughes is introducing in her studio
this week.
The new system teaches the fun
damentals of music to beginners in
a way that makes them think mu-
sic. It trains the mind in accuracy,
speed, and concentration.
Mrs. Julia Fordice Clark of Nc
Pherson, Kan, originator of the
system, brought this method to
North Dakota teachers this summer.
For the last five years it has met
with great success and popularity in
other states.
Mrs. Hughes is the third teacher
in North Dakota to have adopted
this plan of teaching; the other two
teachers arc in Fargo and Valley
Famous professors of muaic and
others who sponsor musical or
CARNATIONS speak highly of the
Make Work Play method.
Oscar Lofgren, dean of School of
Fine Arts, Bethany college, Lands
borg, Kan, says:
II have Investigated several kim
dergarten piano methods, and can
truthfully say that the one, Make
Work Play by Julia Fordice Clark,
is superior to any of them"
w. r. Cotton, dean of music, Uni
versity Of South Dakota, Vermilion.
S. D., calls it "very scientific, logical
and extremely we'll adapted to child
psychology"
The Make Work Play method is
valuable for reading notes, ear-train-
ling, rhythm, melody writing. har-
mony, and for learning the history
Of the composers. Children may be-
gin this course at the age OF years
and gradually advance. Forty-five-
minute classes and Commute private
lessons cover the work required. Pu-
pills who have studied music before
may enroll in the class work.
Diplomas are given to the pupils
upon the completion of the course.
