The field is large and good choir trainers are scarce. In both large and small communities there are always opportunities open for those who can do this kind of work well, and the MacPhail School is the first to offer such a course.

Hardy This course will be divided into two periods: First Period of 20 weeks-an analysis of: Qaj Use of weight, muscles, speed. Chl Varieties of touch. fcj Four angles of tone-production. fdj Mental control replacing physical control. , Second Period of Z0 weeks-Interpretation. The application of the foregoing principles, aesthetic proportion, balance of dynamics and the creation of tonal-planes. Working from the standpoint of scientific principles instead of conforming to a method enlarges the vision and unfolds innumerable possibilities and beautiful effects in both classical and modern compositions. Mrs. Hardy is the authorized Northwestern Representative of E.
