Classical and popular pieces are given during the course. Besides the private lessons, every one is required to attend class meetings, at which the pupils play in presence of each other and the teacher. Blackboard exercises in the varieties of time; accent, scales, modulation and transposition are given to these classes, qualifying students to render music more intelligently. The more advanced pupils have an opportunity to take part in public musical rehearsals and in the public exercises of the University societies. A certificate will be given to all who finish the course. Music may be taken as a University study for two years. Music, although excellent discipline, compared with other studies, is a recreation, and the average student could carry it as a fourth study without inconvenience. Many people think that it is a great waste of time for any one to study music, unless they exhibit a great talent for it. Every one could not become a Beethoven, nor will the average mathematician make a Kepler, yet, every child is obliged to learn arithmetic, and experience has proved that the mind which can grasp the multiplication table, can master the instruction book; here, as elsewhere, perseverance and discipline are only other names for talent. Music is becoming so universal, that a knowledge of it is almost a necessity as well as an accomplishment. No other one study can give more personal pleasures, assist so much in society, or contribute so much to the pleasures of home.
