 W. A. BRANDENBURG, 
 President. 
 
 WALTER McCRAY, 
 Director or Music. 
 
Those wishing to begin or to further im- 
 prove their knowledge of the piano will 
 recognize the unusual advantage in this de- 
 partment. Real finesse in execution and in- 
 terpretation of the masters can be gained. 
 
 GERTRUDE CONCANNON, 
 Director of Piano Department. 
 
 A Certificate for Piano will be granted to 
 students completing Course 2. This course 
 includes Musical History, two years of Har- 
 mony, and one semester of Sight Singing. 
 
 A Diploma for Piano will be granted to 
 students completing Course 3. This course 
 includes Harmony, Counterpoint, Orchestra- 
 tion, Musical History, one semester of Sight 
 Singing. 
 
Special attention is given in first year’s 'work 
 in Voice Department to placing of voice, cor- 
 rect breathing, scales, sight singing, Concone 
 lessons, and single songs for phrasing and 
 enunciation. 
 
 EDITH BIDEAU, 
 Voice Department. 
 
 Second year’s work consists of scales, arpeg- 
 gios, Concone lessons, Marches! studies, Eng- 
 lish and German songs. Arias from oratorios. 
 
 At frequent intervals public and private re- 
 citals are given in which all capable students 
 are required to take part. 
 
It is impossible to write out exactly the 
 course of studies pursued in this department. 
 Each pupil will receive those exercises and 
 pieces which the particular case requires. Can- 
 didates for certificates must give a good per- 
 formance of a piece approximating in tech- 
 nical and music difficulty works like concertos 
 by Viotty and Rode, and they must have 
 studied the etudes of Kreutzer and Dont, and 
 the scales of Halier. 
 
 RETTA HESSELBERG, 
 Violin Department. 
 
 Candidates for diplomas must be equal to 
 the interpretation of solo sonatas by Bach, con- 
 certos by Vieuxtemps, Mozart, Wieniawski, 
 Spohr, Mendelssohn, and some modern compo- 
 sitions, as Kreisler and Saint-Saens. 
 
Concerts and recitals in piano are given 
 frequently during the year, in which all capable 
 students are required to take part. 
 
 MARGARET LEAVITT, 
 Pianist. 
 
 Other concerts and entertainments by repu- 
 table artists are given in the Normal Audi- 
 torium, and in the city, thus affording students 
 an opportunity to hear plenty of good music. 
 
The growing demand for thoroughly trained 
 teachers and supervisors of Public School 
 Music, has induced this School to establish this 
 Department as a special feature. 
 
 INA MARIAN McKNIGHT, 
 Public School Music and Voice. 
 
 The Supervisor’s Course not only requires a 
 thorough knowledge of Piano, Voice, Harmony, 
 Counterpoint, History of Music, Sight Singing, 
 Chorus Conducting, and Orchestration, but each 
 student must do practice teaching in the Model 
 School under direction of critic teacher. 
 
 A class for benefit of grade teachers who 
 desire a knowledge of the rudiments of music 
 is organized each semester. Class meets daily 
 and full credit is given. 
 
Clpttpral Jnfnrmation 
 
 1. All students must be enrolled before they 
 can get their lesson assignment. 
 
 2. All lessons must be paid for in advance, 
 or a written statement from the President ex- 
 tending time of payment. 
 
 3. Lessons missed on account of sickness 
 will be made up, if the teacher or director of 
 music is notified prior to the lesson period. 
 
 4. Lessons on dismissal days must be made 
 up as arranged and announced by the Depart- 
 ment.

 6. The semester of 18 weeks is divided into 
 two music terms of 9 weeks each, requiring an 
 enrollment every 9 weeks in all music subjects. 
 
 7. Department of Music of S. M. T. N. offers 
 courses as complete as any of the leading Con- 
 servatories of Music. Every teacher is an 
 artist in his special line, which gives students 
 the advantages of a larger city. 
 
 8. Students will be admitted to this Depart- 
 ment at any time during the year, but ad- 
 vantages are generally better if entrance is 
 made at beginning of semester. 
 
 9. Reasonable credit is given for all music 
 work. Music may be an elective in any course 
 in the institution. 
 
 10. There are several musical organizations 
 in which talented students not in this Depart- 
 ment may take part. Among them: The Male 
 Glee Club, The Polymnia Club, The Orchestra, 
 the Band, and a Mixed Chorus. 
 
 11. Concerts are given during the year, and 
 in the spring all organizations unite with mu- 
 sicians of surrounding communities for a 
 week’s “Spring Music Festival.”
