The Cincinnati Conservatory is modeled after and teaches the methods of the foremost European institutions. Miss Hooper understands the methods of the Conservatory so as to teach with success. During her attendance at this school she ranked among the most faithful, thorough and conscientious students of the ' institution.

There are few Who compare with you. Also, I wish to congratulate you upon your knowledge of the German language, an accomplishment so much to be prized by those studying music. I write this the first month of the New Year, 1903, to show you how I admire a young lady of your standing, both' in church and society, and last, but not least, your standing as a musician.

Miss Josephine Lumb, who is at the head of the Vocal Department of the American Mozart Conservatory, has had excellent training for such a position. After complet-l ing a course of vocal study in Charleston Female Seminary, Charleston, S. C., she spent five years of study in New York. She was for some time a pupil in the Grand Con- servatory, New York. Among her teachers were Dudley Buck, Jr., C. J. Meyer, Dr. Blitz and Miss Laura Moore, one of the foremost vocalists of New York. Miss Lumb completed a full course with Miss Laura Moore. I wish to recommend with sincerity and pleasure Miss Josephine Lumb, who has been a pupil of mine. She has taken a full course in vocal instruction with me, and is fully competent to undertake the teaching necessary in a school of your standing. She understands tone production and emission and voice building, and has at her command a good repertoire of English, F rench and Italian music. Be- sides this, her musical training has been most thorough in piano, har- mony and sight reading. She has studied with many well known teachers in America.

Lumb has studied with me for a season, and acquired the necessaryknowledge and practice to fill a position of teacher of vocal culture With success. Her voice is of a rich mezzo.

I have been under her instruction for the past two years. I was referred to her by a pupll of Mr. Duciley Buck, Jr. It may be that Miss Lumbis.method. was particularly suited to relieve my peculiar faults, but it IS pertain that, from whatever cause, she has succeeded in helping me in a far greater degree than my former instructors did.
