MACPHAIL SCHOOL OF MUSIC 13 Department of Piano Faculty R011 the organization of the lNfIacPhail School it has been the aim of the directors to secure the very best professional talent available for the faculty. 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.
