Th, Robert Cuscaden school for stringed
jntrumnu opened September 1 in its com-
modiou new quarters in the' Schmoller
Mueller building. ' Mr. Cuscaden haa tbs
following forewords In his prospectus:
Th. pbJec, ,n lounUnfc. tchool for"
stringed Instrurrents Is primarily to build
MP side of th musical education that
is tersely covered by the -word "routine.
The opportunity of learning to read ac
curately and fluently, coupled with ability
to phrase intelligently, as applied in daily
drill In orchestra, quartet or trio, is th
louoaauon upon whl u should rent th r-
pose and individuality of the soloist
Students who are thlnkina- seriously as
to their cours of study cannot help but
realise tbe necessity of a thorough theoreti
cal knowledge of musical construction as
well as mere executive ability, and should
take tha theoretical course.
A secondary object, but none the less Im
portant, la the advantage gained by .h
pupila becoming arualnted with each other
and each other' work, that their ambition
b aroused and comparisons made with
their own work as a stimulus to greater
effort
The location beautiful atudy rooms
large recital auditorium and a thorougnly
competent corpa of teacher, makes th
advantages offered by the school compare
favorably with tho of th larger eastern
cities and should not b overlooked by
prospective students living west of tbe Mis
sissippi river.
