It is of primary importance that students should acquire a thorough foundation in technic and elementary theoretical knowledge, as without these even a literally correct execution is impossible. We take the utmost care in cultivating a clear, even and elastic touch,rs0 desirable in the production of a full, singing, musical tone, holding steadfastly t0 the principle that the development of the intellectual musical understanding must go hand in hand With technical progress. All students are urged to take the full theoretical course in conjunction with whatever special branch they may pursue. Candidates for graduation in either vocal 0r instrumental music are required to do so. Students may enter the Conservatory at any stage of advancement, but will be classihed accord- ing to the quality, not the quantity, of past work. Such studies, exercises and pieces as may be used, will be care- fully selected and adapted to the requirements of individual students in their respective grades. The course is divided into fwe periods, as follows: OUTLINE. Preparatorerorrect position and movements of fme gers, wrists and arms established, proper execution of simple passage work and various degrees of touch em- ployed.
