Louisville Conservatory of Music PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC The growing demand for efficient teache1's and supervisors of public school music is due largely to the fact that, even in the States where supervisors are not required by law, the necessity for thorough musical training i11 the grades is being recognized. Many public schools are giving credit for music taken at con- servatories or under private teachers. Often music is given a place of equal importance with other high school studies. Consequently, the demand is for teachers of high ability and broad training, teachers who are capable of instructing the primary and elementary grades of school music, conducting choruses and orchestras and giving instruction in harmony and musical appreciation. Inas- much as the teachers of public school music exert a very definite influence upon the civic life in any community, the supervisor's general education, as well as musical, must be along broad lines. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS An academic education representing a four year high school course, or its equivalent, which includes the ability to speak, write and spell the English language correctly. The possession of an acceptable singing voice and a well developed sense of tone and rhythm. The ability to read at sight simple hymns and folk tunes. A fair amount of musical training. COURSES Cal A Supervisor's Certificate of Public School Music is granted upon completion of the two year course. tbl A Supervisor's Diploma of Public School Music will be granted upon completion of the three year course. Students wishing advanced standing must present credits and the proper credentials. In the absence of such, they will appear before the Board of Exam- iners for classification and standing. Reciprocal relations have been established with the Louisville Normal School where students of Public School Music will receive instruction in all professional subjects. The charge for subjects taken at the Louisville Normal School is included in the tuition quoted in this catalog. PUBLIC SCHOOL DRAWING A full year course in Public School Drawing is included in the curriculum of the Louisville Conservatory and is an elective subject in the Public School Depart- ment A large number of schools require supervisors who can teach drawing as well as music, therefore, it is recommended that all students qualify in this subject.
