Selecting a Teacher The choice of teacher lies entirely with the student, although upon request the registrar will in every way possible assist pupils to select the teachers best suited to their individual needs. In choosing a teacher, previous methods of study, amount of time available for practice and personality of the student should be taken into consideration. Examinations for Students Who Wish Credit Toward Graduation Those students who desire credit for previous study towards graduation may present credentials or take a private examination from their teachers. Those who wish to study without graduation in view are not subject to examination. Regular examinations are held at the end of each term of ten weeks when students are given a written statement of their standings in all subjects. These reports will be mailed to parents by the school upon request. Music As a Profession The ever-increasing demand for music teachers, soloists, church singers, public school music supervisors, concert artists, orchestra players. church and theatre organists, dramatic readers and musicians in Lyceum and Chautauqua companies, is such that the MacPhail School of Music has placed hundreds of its graduates in profitable positions. A greater number of applications are being received each year for graduates to take important engagements. No charge is made to the student for obtaining positions.

It is largely due to this policy that the school has had such phenomenal growth. Each year has seen the names of artists noted for their superior teaching ability added to the list, many of them nationally and internationally known. Master Teacher of Piano ln securing Madame Bailey Aptelbeck, The MacPhail School of Music has engaged one of the most notable pianists of modern times. Brahms. Reinecke, Grieg, Rubenstein and Leschetizky are but a few of those who have tes- tified to her great ability. Madam Bailey Apfelbeck has the fiery temperament of genius united with classical repose and supported by virtuoso technic, wrote Leschet- izky. Madame Apfelbeck has had high honors bestowed upon her by many reigning monarchs of Europe, and like Paderewski, gained most of her skill in the famous studios of Leschetizky. Dr. James Davies in the Minne- apolis Tribune, September 3, l922: Q 'lUndoubtedly the most experienced ' pianist and teacher that ever has Madame Marie Louise Bailey Apfelbvrk been in the westf, Dr. Victor Nilsson in the Minneapolis Journal, September 10, 1922: Makes it clearly evident that it is not longer necessary to go elsewhere or abroad to study with great masters. New York VVorld, Iune 2l, 1922: Gained fame as one of the greatest pianists and teachers abroadfl I lt is not alone because of her playing that she is famous, for it cannot be emphasized too strongly that she is one of the best teachers at present available in America. Her great reputation as a teacher is the result of the brilliant accom- plishments of a multitude of students. Appointments for private lessons may now be made. :X course of Repertoire-Interpretation Classes will be held where the piano works of all the great piano composers will be taken up in detail and analyzed from the technical as well as the interpretatiye side. ,,. ,,.. ,... . ,... ,,.. ..A. ... ..A. ,,..... ,,. .

I .,., .. ,A , ,i Harrison Wall Johnson is a Minneapolis pianist whose artistic repu- tation has spread far beyond the confines of his home city and state. He began the study of music at an early age in Minne- apolis, later going to Europe, where he was a pupil of Busoni and other prominent mas- ter pianists. Upon his return he was the recipient of flattering offers from other cities, but preferred to confine his major ac- tivities to his native city and state. Among his most important out-of-town engage- ments was a recital in New York City which had the enthusiastic approval of the critics who praised, among other things, his re- markable intellectual grasp of the various compositions chosen for perform- ance. Mr. johnson has appeared four times as soloist with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, with the following comment from Dr. James Davies of the Tribune: Mr, Johnson can be considered among the most satisfactory pianists we have heard at these concerts. He is a gifted teacher and has prepared many of his students for profes- sional careers. Frederick .W. Mueller Mus. Bac., associate director of the Mac- Phail School, has the advantage of a musical training attained by few in the profession. After completing the requirements for the degree, Bachelor of Music. in Oberlin Con- servatory, he spent a number of years in Leipzig, where he graduated from the Royal Conservatory with high honors. His experi- ence as a teacher has made him a specialist in developing fine pianists and the results of his excellent work have been repeatedly demonstrated in the artist pupils he has to his credit. Mr. Mueller is one of the most successful Macljhail teachers. . . ... 5 .. .. ,,. ,., .... .., .... .. ,... .. E2 , . E2 ,.., ..

Mr. Hunt is organist and choirmaster of Plymouth Church. He has been particularly successful in placing a large number of his students in pro- fessional positions, many of the leading organists, pianists and singers of the northwest having profited by his instruction. James A. Bliss According to a long established policy of securing the most successful teachers for its faculty, the Macl-,hail School of Music an- nounces the engagement of Mr. and Mrs, james .-X. Bliss and assistants from the Bliss studios. james A. Bliss, who has directed the studies of hundreds of pianists well known for their artistic playing and theoretical knowledge, has lived in Minneapolis con- stantly since l906 excepting for the year l9l3, when he was assistant teacher to Rudolph Ganz in Berlin. He is responsible for the training of many teachers and play- ers of remarkable ability. His early inspiration was received from the father of American piano teachers, XVilliam H. Sherwood. As a composer he has met with excellent success, his compositions issued by Schirmer, Fischer and Breitkopf and Hartel, being in the repertoire of many world famous artists. In addition to teaching, playing and composing, Nr. Bliss has been actively associated with civic organizations in the promotion of Minneapolis as a music center. Mr. Bliss will teach exclusively at the Macljhail School of Music. Hr. Bliss is a creative musician of genius, force, artistic talent and intelligent knowledge.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Albee is known as a teacher and player of unusual attainments. Her name has always been associated with music in its best form. En- joying an acquaintance with many of the world's leading pianists and violinists she has kept in touch with the most modern ideas in the development of music. She has appeared in recitals on numerous occasions in quartet and sonata programs and always with great success. Her pupils' recitals are noted for the quality of the composition per- formed and artistic interpretation. Many of Mrs. Albee's students have made suc- cessful teachers. QF ,..., ..... ? ....

He is a thorough musician, an eminent theorist and a splendid teacher of piano and organ. Dur- ing his residence in Minneapolis he has won the highest respect of musicians because of his vast knowledge of music. He has a large number of prominent teachers among his students. ELSE JACHE has reached a standard in her work rarely attained. Her concentrated study and unusual insight into the realm of art has made her an artist of the very highest type. Her playing is characterized by depth of expression. Those who have enjoyed her instruction are enthusiastic in their praise of her meth- od of teaching. She was a pupil of Rudolph Ganz for a number of years. During the past year she has given four public recitals in Minneapolis with splendid suc- cess. Miss jache gives her pupils her individual at- tention. STANLEY R. AVERY enjoyed the extraordinary op portunity of personal study under America's greatest composer, Edward MacDowell. Besides teaching piano and organ Mr. Avery will conduct classes in composition, instrumentation, choir training and sight reading.

GUSTAV SCHOETTLE, by reason of a most thor- ough academic and musical education obtained at Stuttgart, Germany, and years of practical experience as pianist, teacher, conductor, and lecturer, has be- come one of the best known music educators in the Middle and Northwest. His success is attested best by many of his former students now actively engaged in the music profession in different parts of the coun- try. Before coming to Minneapolis Mr. Schoettle was connected with such institutions as Dakota Wesleyaii and Iowa State Universities where he had been direc- tor of the Departments of Music. He has been a member of the Board of Examiners of the Minnesota Music Teachers' Association for three years and its chairman during the last two years. He specializes in the Progressive Series of Piano Lessons of which he is a recognized authority and one of its National Normal Instructors. H. Ray Palmer Carolyn Bowen I. Victor Bergqzrist J. VICTOR BERGQUIST is among the city's best known teachers of piano, organ and theory. After a number of years' study in Minnesota he finished his schooling under the leading masters of Europe. His teaching is char- acterized by enthusiasm and intense effort, whereby his pupils invariably show a large amount of progress in a short space of time. A number of very artistic recitals have been given by his many advanced students. Mr. Berg- quist has distinguished himself by his success in teaching self-expression to his pupils who are taught to use technic as a means of interpretation guided by intelligent understanding. CAROLYN BOWEN is one of the most successful teachers in Minneapolis, having fortified a natural teaching talent with continued study under well known pianists of Minneapolis and New York. She is gifted with the faculty of bringing out the best in her students and they are enthusiastic in their praise of her well organized system of study. Her time is much in demand. H. RAY PALMER devotes himself entirely to teaching. He has a natural talent and splendid training combining to make him unusually effective. He numbers a large group of men and women among his pupils who continue year after year to avail themselves of his instruction. His studies were per- fected under the leading masters of Italy. His annual visits to New York have kept him in touch with the most advanced ideas in piano playing and literature. Besides teaching piano, Mr. Palmer holds classes in harmony and history. 11:::::11::::..111,1311:1:1::::.11::::::::2.::::::::::.::.z::::.:,::: ...,.,., wwwv---44NNN .... .... ,... .,.. ,....,,,.....,.,. .... ,,,,...,.,.,,.,. ..,. ,,,., ,.,. ,,.., ,,,,,,,,,,,,,.4,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, WILMA ANDERSON GILMAN is too well known among music lovers of the northwest to need intro- duction. Her two appearances as soloist with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra have placed her among the leading musicians of the state. After four years of study in Brussels, where she became accom- panist for the advanced students of Ysaye, Mrs. Gil- man toured the United States with great success. As a teacher, she has shown herself especially giftedg her clear logical method of presenting her ideas helping her pupils to get rapid results. ELLA RICHARDS, the well known pianist, received her earliest training in her native city. Later she spent some time studying under able instructors in New York and then for a year and a half was a pupil of Leschetizky in Vienna, at a time when the class numbered among its members such great artists as Gabrilowitsch, Goodson and Hamburg. XVhile devot- ing a great part of her time to teaching, in which pro- fession she has been eminently successful, Miss Rich- ards has appeared continually in public in concert work, receiving great praise for her facile technic and scholarship interpretations. G. A. THORNTON, who has been head of the piano and theory departments of Hamline University for many years, is now available for private instruction in piano and organ at the MacPhail School. He holds the Certificate of the Royal Academy of Music of England and his education places him among the most scholarly musicians of the country. at f'LC..- Cs 6499-vw 5 V...

During the first two years, however, the electives are chosen to emphasize public speaking and reading, and the third year of the course devotes itself almost exclusively to finish- ing work in the platform arts. The endeavor of this course is to help the reader and the interpreter of literature not only to find himself and his matter, but to be a thoroughly finished platform artist ready for professional work. To the lecturer it offers training both in the preparation of his message and in the perfecting of his powers in the handling of an audience. This is a three years, course for which the Platform Artists' Diplomaw is offered. . Teacher's Course p The teachers' course meets the constantly increasing demand for teachers of English and literature who have also had the best training in oral and interpreta- tive methods. It is a two-year course in expression, oral English and the interpreta- tive study of literature. Two years of college or normal work is prerequisite to this course. If desired, the work may be so arranged that the expression work and the college work will run side by side throughout four years. Dramatic Arts Course The dramatic arts course is a two-year course giving thorough training in both the practical and theoretical aspects of the art of acting. This course includes the study of the drama as an art form., analysis, with study of principles governing its interpretationg training of voice and body for stage deliveryg life study, leading to impersonation and characterization, freedom of action in playlettes and farcesg analytical study and presentation of representative classical and modern dramas, frequent public appearance. In connection with this work there is a course, requiring two evenings a week, and devoted to the rehearsing and producing of plays. Bachelor of Oratory Course The bachelor of oratory course, for the satisfactory completion of which the school offers the degree B. O., requires a year of study after the completion of the studies leading to platform artists, diploma. This means a four-year course or its equivalent. Credits in English, rhetoric, sociology, economics, education and psychology will be accepted from normal schools and colleges up to a total of 72 credits. A total of 196 credits is required for the degree. Normal school graduates and students with two years of college work may, by taking extra work, complete the course in two years. This, however, would be conditioned upon their having some special aptitude for expression. A preliminary consultation and examination is required. W'rite for special consideration of your case. ,.. . ,,..A.., ,... ,... ..., fi A . .A. ...A . ER . , I .., .... ,... , . . .... E2 .A. ,,... ,..A.

Dur- ing the second year a course in pedagogy and methods in teaching expression and public speaking will be offered for those who are preparing to teach. VVith this second course opportunity to do practice teaching will be given. Dancing Under the able direction of JOSEPHINE RETZ-GARNS the department of dancing has had a remarkable growth during the last few years. She spends the summer of each year securing the latest Russian, Greek, Novelty and Social dances from the Vestoff-Serova, Pavely-Oukrainsky, Duryea, Chalif-Coleman, and Denishaxvn Studios. Class or private lessons are offered in social, aesthetic and toe dancing. Children's Classes Children's work in Expression, Dramatic Art, and Dancing, both class and private, is offered after school hours and on Saturdays. Children taking this work are given opportunity to appear in public recitals, plays and dance pageants. The Children's Classes of the dance department have been one of its most successful features. Send for special leafiet for definite announcement of the schedule of dance classes. Speech Defects To be afflicted with stammering or stuttering is a serious handicap. In both social and business relations it cuts one off from the highest efficiency, yet thousands how under this burden who might be cured. Many of the worst cases of stam- mering and stuttering have been cured in the Department of Speech Defects. Under the personal direction of Mr. Garns, this work is carried on in daily class and pri- vate lessons. Platform Reading Throughout the first two years of the general culture course, students are given two hours each week in platform reading and criticism. In this class they receive help and criticism on all their own memorized selections, and at the same time profit by the helps given to every other member of the class. If a student can prepare more work than he has time to present in class, he is allowed to take private lessons on his prepared material. MACPHAIL SCHOOL OF MUSIC 59 English and Literature The School is especially fortunate in having Hazel Lotze XVhittaker in charge of its teaching of English and literature. Mrs. XVhittaker possesses in unusual degree the ability to keep academic standards and yet teach both writing and literature from the point of view of expression. Evening Classes For the benefit of students unable to come at any other time, special evening classes in dramatic art and expression are offered. Credit is given toward a diploma. MacPhail Little Theatre Club The aim of this organization is to give practical stage training and opportuni- ties for public appearance to those interested in dramatic art. All pupils taking work in the school are eligible to membership. During the last three years the Players have successfully produced more than forty modern one-act plays and many full-length dramas receiving excellent press comment for their artistic stand- ards. Careful attention to stage settings and lighting effects characterize these performances. The MacPhail Players Club The JllacPl1ail Players club under the direction of Maude Moore, was organized for the purpose of presenting standard plays. The club gives several programs each year, finishing the work with a produc- tion calling for a large cast, extensive scenic equipment and elaborate costuming. Membership is open to all students of sufficient training and talent. Following a recent appearance of Hazel Laurence from the class of Maude Moore, Carlton Miles wrote in the Journal: I seldom have heard a reading that brought out the spirit of a play in better fashion. Lyceum and Chautauqua Engagements Students who are competent to do platform work are in great demand as readers and entertainers. No one with real ability who will earnestly prepare for this work need have any fear that there will not be a place for him when the course is completed. Many graduates of the school are now in Lyceum and Chautauqua work as entertainers and professional readers. The Little Players' Company is a dramatic organization of students of the school which has successfully played throughout the middle-west. The Repertoire Players Club The Repertoire Playersl' club under the direction of Clara Rice, was organ- ized for the benefit of her pupils to give them practical stage training and oppor- tunities for public appearances, working out a varied repertoire of new and inter- esting worthwhile plays. Although a little over a year old, this club has produced several very successful plays. Next year the club plans several programs with special scenic equipment, effective lighting, and artistic costuming. 9.9. , ,... . ... AA Q .. . .. , .A. 4. Q ..
