H 0 0 L J. Rudolph Peterson 6 has made a remarkable success of his teach- ing. After holding the position of hrst violin for five years in the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, he resigned to devote himself entirely to his pupils in the Mac- Phail School. Few men are as gifted for teaching as Mr. Peterson and the large number of pupils seeking his instruction are a strong endorsement of his work. The splendid results he secures are obtained by a careful attention to detail, his untiring en- thusiasm, and the personal interest that he takes in all of his pupils. His time is very much in demand. Mr. Peterson has charge of the violin normal course for teachers.

This department has trained hundreds of concert artists, orchestra players and teachers who now occupy professional positions of importance. l George Klass is in many respects the most thoroughly competent violinist in the northwest, wrote H. A. Bellows, music critic, on December 7, 1921. The MacPhail School is particularly for- tunate in having upon its faculty, a man who has the fine teaching instinct of Mr. Klass. A conscientious adherence to the true fun- damental principles of violin technic has made his teaching particularly successful and his advanced pupils show the result of his painstaking effort. Mr. Klass devotes practically all of his time to his students and has gained a large reputation as a pedagog. He has studied under Leopold Auer. Heinrich Hoevel has long been known as the dean of violin teachers in the Twin Cities. Many of the most successful players now appearing in concert have received their entire training from him. He is an authority on chamber music and is acquainted with the modern developments in tonal art. His training was received from the great masters of Cologne and since coming to Minneapolis, he has devoted himself principally to teach- ing, in which field his success is manifested in the number of artist pupils he has pro- duced.
