W t falm Gatsclze Hazel Halvcr Ncisoz: I-Hfilf Hifi?-V Rvwkvrf Grant Haggfquist JOHN GATSCHE studied in Leipzig for several years, playing in the sym- phony orchestra under Xvintersten, after a thorough training in his home city of Marienbad. He has been a member of the Minneapolis Symphony Orches- tra for twelve years and during that time he has built up a splendid reputation as a teacher. A large number of students have benefited by his instruction. HAZEL HALVER NELSON uses the principles of Ottaker Sevcik in her teaching and she has succeeded in bringing her pupils through the early stages of violin playing with a good understanding of proper bowing and left hand technic. LUCILE 'HICKS ROSSKOPF has a brilliant violin technic and because of her splendid bowing and pure intonation, she produces a fine tone which inspires her pupils to work for artistic results. GRANT HAGGQUIST has rapidly gained a reputation as a teacher and violinist of excellent attainments. Because of his musical talent he was given a musical education under the United States Veterans' Bureau. He is thor- oughly acquainted with the technic of his instrument. Violoncello CARLO FISCHER of the Yioloncello Department of the MacPhail School will personally accept a limited number of pupils. As a teacher, he has had unusual success. His masters were Prof. Bernhard Crossman and Prof. Hugo Becker of the Dr. Hoch's Conserva- tory at Frankfurt-on-the-Main, two artists who have developed 'cello playing to its highest state of perfec- tion. Mr. Fischer will conduct classes in chamber music where violinists, pianists and 'cellists will have training in proper ensemble interpretation. l
