dillon, violin, voice, orchestral train
ing and interpretive classic dancing.
Under the direction OF MIR. Thomas
X. Gatterdam. @
To our readers who are interested
In the SO universally admired art Of
musical expression, whether piano,
voice, violin, or other instrument,
and to those who may in the future
wish to avail themselves of the
opportunities 30 close at hand, we
wish to bring the name OF the North
western School Of Music.
In the study Of music, whether the
keyboard, the voice, the violin, or some
other instrument be the medium OF
expression, those primary principles
upon which beautiful tone picture
Is painted are of vital Importance and
emphasis on these well known facts
can scarcely be over-estimated.
The Northwest School of Music,
whose destiny is guided by Mr..
Gatterdam, recognized music critic,
is one Of those far seeing institutions
which not only realize the Importance
OF building these principles into the
nature Of the prospective graduate or
teacher but actually make 1t point
and see to 1t that these individual
principles are, time after time, and
day after day brought before the
student until they become not second
nature, but part of the nature of the
future artist or instructor. This re-
quires splendid background of years
Of hard study and practice and
patience. The thought and care which
Mr.. Gatterdam puts into his work
merits the admiration he receives in
musical circles.
We also wish to say concerning the
work of che Northwestern School OF
Music that the courses of instruction
which they provide, the compositions
and exercises they use, recommend
and pass on to its pupils are the work
If the best opponents and composers
If music; masterpieces in their style
and purpose, and the directing head of
his school never ceases to progress in
his studies and to hand down the more
modern ideas which he finds worthy
If this admirable calling.

ion in all branches of its work and
charges gladly given those interested
