Kan., on October 6. now orten on hears the statement made, sometimes by people who are good musi cians that '-The violin is a mystery. I can not understand how even one note is made." Tet the beginning of the violin Is easily explained and children who are Mpnfullv taught are capable of playing simple pieces ui swu tune ana rytnm, wnne talented chil dren acquire a skill which Is Incomprehen sible to those who do not understand tb Instrument The only reoson usually given in such cases Is, that the child Is gifted with an exceptionally musical ear. True, the first requisite towards mastery of any musi cal Instrument Is a correct musical ear but violin students with excellent ears often jlay badly .out of tune. Why? Be cause the playing of the violin depends on the application of certain principles re quiring the trained co-operation of 'the muscles of the hand and arms with the sense of hearing. Faultily trained muscles fall to respond and the pupil's playing Is out of tune in spite of his correct ear, On the other hand certain natural and scienti fic principles of violin playing once under stood and worked out. give a foundation for -anld progress and artistic playing me pupii oe a oegtnner or ad- vaiu'Bd, Luella Anderson, violinist, will be to talk to those Interested In the violin 'and explain further the principles of good Tloltn- playing. Brownell ,Hall. Downtown Jenkins, formerly of flt congregational cnurcn, Mia Anna Olascow, teacher of voice and piano,. 60S Karbach block, will reopen her studio, for the third year. She does not limit her work In either voice or piano to any one method, but uses what she thinks boat applies to the Individual student. In both voice and piano Miss Olascow will give a number of lecture recitals during the sea son, which will be of value to the friends ;vno study or attend, as well as to the pupils themselves. She will be very glad to have anyone, who la Interested In muslo attend these lecture recitals. Voices tested with out charge. , . . Us -r T , Frank Maeh, concert violinist and In structor, has established for himself an en labia reputation. Through his honesty and perseverance he has produced over eighty artistic students, who have surprised the music lovers with their excellent play ing. Mr. Macb says: ''Studying under an Incompetent teacher Is bound to be the downfall of a talented scholar. - Many parnnts misjudge their chil dren by assuming that they nave no talent, owing to the fact that they have studied wrong principles. Good talent is always polled by poor Instruction. "Beginners should commence thefr stud lea with a competent teacher, as good prog ress can only be made on a proper founda tion, and bad habits, once acquired, are difficult to eradicate. For the fullest re alisation of success, every phase Of the finer E ilnt. of violin playing must be considered dlvldually, and not in classes." Mr. Macb has over 800 flattering press comments on his wonderful abilities. Lea son Llebllng, the editor-in-chief of the Musical Courier, writes: "Frank Maeh Is one of the most ambitious and serlous- xnlnded pedagogues we have met In a long while.. He paid his own way through a has means, and with the same self-rellantN pint .mis umana vionn instructor is building up a Urge following and asking zavora. ox no one. - Miss Cor Bchwarts has resumed teach- in ner studio in tne Lyric . building. l busy summer scent in chlcas-o. coaching with the well known authority on roice. Prank !B. Webster. While In Chi cago Miss Schwarts appeared as soloist in several prominent churches, among them Warren Avenue Congregational church of which Dr. J. A. Mary's Avenue Oms ha. Is naator. Sunday, September S, Miss Schwarts be gan her' third season as soprano and di rector of the quartet of the First Congre gational church of this city. Waltter B. Graham has been Identified with the musical life of Omaha for twenty five years and brings to his work the re mits of over thirty-three years' study of the singing voice ss pupil, soloist and teacher. Fifteen of his pupils occupy prominent places In the churches of Omaha Mr. Graham Is a firm believer in the recital (open to the public) for pupils, as an Infallible demonstration, not only of she ability of the pupil, but teacher as well. At the close of the last season he brought out forty of his pupils in- fou re citals a record not equaled in this country. In addition to his teaching he has done considerable public work himself and will appear before the Woman's club at Lin coln in November. Miss Lorette Ds Lone, formerly of 'the Minneapolis and Pittsburgh Symphony or chestras and recently of New York, has re opened her harp studio In the Lyric build ing. When an entire harp program In Omaha was spoken of by Miss De Lone, some who do not know the capabilities of the Instrument remarked that "an Omaha audience would surely want a singer or an other instrumentalist to assist." The fact was that after Miss De Lone had given a varied program that lasted for an hour 'and forty minutes she was accorded an nvsMnn and was obliged to return and give another number, as the audience refused to leave. The climate of the middle west Is so favor- , able to the Instrument that many have , been encouraged to take up the study of I the harp. Those who think that the con cert grand harp Is too large or expensive will have the opportunity to learn the small Irish ham which furnishes a spienaia ac companlment to the voice and can be so easily carried around. Ae Miss De Lone Is engaged principally In concert work, she can accept only a limited number or pupils. Her lecture and program at the Woman's club on Octobert 11 will be most interesting and she will have one or the younger pupils of II years play several numbers on the large harp after only a few months or study. Miss De Lone canceled her concert dates In Iowa for the latter part of this month, but will leave for an eastern tour October 16, giving recitals In Chicago. Washington, New York, Philadelphia and other large cities before her return, about November 8. An Inveterate student, never satisfied unless she is growing In musical knowl edge, Edith L, Wagoner spent much of her vacation time in special study in New York City with F.ugene Heffley, and in Investigating teaching methods. She re turns with renewed enthusiasm for her work and anticipates a very busy sea son. Beginning quite early In the season Mrs. Wagoner will present several ad vanced pupils In Individual recitals, as well as giving a number of programs on which beginning and intermediate students will anoear. Mrs. Wagoner's own annual recital will be riven -under the ausnlces of the Bust ncss Women's club at the Young Women's Christian Association auditorium on the evening of October a. and will be accom nanled by an Informal talk on "Musical! idiom. sne nss also been engaged by the music department of the Woman's rlub at a November date fo - a talk "Suggestions on Pianoforte Study," which should be of great Interest to students or motners or students. Miss Nora' Neal, teadher of piano and organ. Is now at 613 McCague building. Miss Neal, who won two gold medals for general excellence at the American con servatory In Chicago, has been organist at the First Methodist church for the last two years. Her telephone is Doug las 4844. During the coming season of ltK-17 Alice Virginia Davis and Cecil W. Berry man will give a series of monthly recitals, consisting of concerts, solos and two piano numbers These recitals will be open to punlls and Invited guests.

Last season Miss Davis made a success ful New York debut. Mr. Berryman was accompanist for Mme. Calve at her Or pheum engagement here last spring. Miss Ruth Ganson has reopened her studio after an absence of a year and a half, which she has spent In Sheridan, Wyo., teaching and singing and in Chicago, where she worked with Mr. Allan Ray Carpenter. Miss Ganson was associated with the music de partment of the Omaha Woman's club for three years, two years as assistant leader. and one as leader of the department.

Being geographically situ ated midway between New York and San Francisco, and wun tne anituue me iinesi In the world on the voice neither the ex treme high nor the extreme low and with hundreds of wonderfully good voices be tween these two nolnts. Omaha should one day be one of the great musical centers. Laura Da Vllmer. the well known ODera singer and teacher, who came to this coun try on account or tne European war, ana who sings th roles equally well' in the English, German, French and Italian, has, through Mrs Ryan's efforts, been Induced to eome to Omaha and Join the colony of teachers, Mrs. Rvan has devoted a great portion of her time -this summer to enlarging the second edition of her book, "What Every Singer Should Know." Three more chap ters and twenty-four lessons of her system of teaching have been added. The book has been accepted by the well known mu sic publisher, Car. Fisher,, New York, and will be on sale at all the leading music tores and book sellers after October 16. Walter Wheatley. the operatic tnor. who - sines the war began has nad atuoios ,in Omaha and Ltnooln, has just received an offer to sing the principal tenor roles In grand opera In New Orleans for a season of six months. Owing to his large class and many professional engagements already, he has found It necessary to decline this. Mr. Wheatley's Omaha studio is at 805 Lyric building, sharing a suite with Miss DeLone'a Harp school. Having had wide experience in singing opera in many countries abroad as well as in New York, Mr. Wheatley hopes to develop some feasible operatic plana for the middle west. "Omaha may eventually have a civic onera company," says Mr. Wheatley. "Cities abroad of lesser Importance all have majrnl 'tcent tom-les where the greatest operas are performed In ' a manner than would open the eyes of the average American. The day Is not far distant and Is undoubtedly .astened by the great war. when American cities can boast of the same achievement. Already there has been formed In a circuit of cities such as Cleveland, Detroit, Pitts burgh, etc., an lnterestate opera company. With the proper amount of local. Interest this enterprise can be extended to Omaha. 'There are many beautiful voices in Omaha, and were an outlet for the talent thus developed, these might become famous singers." J. E. Brill, violin -soloist and pedagogue, received his musics! education at the Chi- I cago Musical college and at the Royal Con- servatory In Stuttgart, He continued his training and preparation for a solo career In years of study under the noted Belgian pedagogue, A. J. Marchot, violin professor at the Royal Conservatory In Brussels, and ' the famos French violin master. Emllte aSurst. With Mathla Lussy of Parts, he studied . Interpretation. Having com pleted hla studies he conoertlzed with marked success In Europe, winning the ap proval of some' of the severest critics. From 1908 to 1918 he was one of the prin cipal teachers of ths municipal conservatory of Hanover, where hla work won for him an enviable reputation as a teacher of his In strument In 1913 he resigned to become director of the Conservatory of Music In Eisenach. Following the outbreak of the European war In 1914, Mr. Brill left Europe and returned to America. He became con nected with the Conservatory of Drury col lege tn Springfield. Mo., as professor of violin and head of the violin department, from which position he resigned In the fall of 1916, having been Induced to come to Omaha. Among tho pupils of Mr. Brill In' Europe were Andre Ntrollnl. grandson of the famous tenor. Nicollhl. the husband of Adeline Pattl. and George Lutter, a young concert, violinist who has become favorably known In Germany. Mr. Brill has established a violin school In Omaha, aiming to give violin students a training, equal In every respect to the vlollnlsttc education obtainable tn ths musi cal centers of Europe. Slgmund Landsberg, a native of Berlin. Germany, received his first musical training at the age of 7, wnlle attending ths Royal seminary or Benin. , From 1896 to 189t, ho oompleted a regu lar course In piano, harmony, counterpoint and composition at the famous Stern con servatory, supplementing this work later with a ajost-graduate course at ths master scnooi ror piano and composition of (he Royal high school of music, Professor Frled rlch Gernshelm, Ludwlg Bessler and other famed authorities betng his adviser. Pips organ studies were maintained dur ing these years under the guidance of Pro fessor Frans Grunlcke. As an Instructor Mr. Landsberg dates his experience back to 189, when he served as an asststant wtth the Stern conservatory faculty tn Berlin. At the end of the same vear he established himself as an Instructor of piano, harmony and composition In Omaha, where from the modest start of a class of eighteen private pupils during the first year, the list of his clientele steadily Increased In numbers to the extent of nearly "v private pupus. who have at one time or other during this period been under his private guidance in either their piano or theoretical studies. i As a composer of works covering a vast I variety, Mr. Landsberg has been extremely J active and successful. His compositions ap pear In the catalogs of the foremost publish- 1 Ing houses of the world. His Instrumental and vocal numbers have gained for him the personal commendation of soma- of the most noted concert singers and Instrumental solo ists. As a result of his vast teaching expe rience his pupils number among ths most efficient and best equipped musicians of Omaha and adjacent territory. It is Mr. Landsberg's highest aim, not only to assist his pupils along technical lines, but also to see to It that through his most com prehensively demonstrating lecture lessons, the pupils' conceptions of the greatest of all educational and entertaining arts and the Interpretation of Its masterpieces shall be vastly broadened. 11 Henry Cox the violinist and conductor, founder and director of the Omaha School of Orchestra Instruments and the Omaha Symphony Study orchestra, handed us what he termed a record of a few activities when we asked for a "Story." These activities constitutes a story which must bo Inspir ing for Mr. Cox to contemplate: Henry Cox has given more then f 0.000 educational and cultural periods In Omaha alone. He and his students have given more than 800 concerts and recitals In thirty five states. Mr. Cox has Just completed an intensive and constant course In self train ing, investigating and philosophy, covering twenty years, In "The Physlo-Psychologlca! Laws Governing the Infallible Production of Beauty in Instrumental Tone, singly and In Variable Groups. Expects Uy Applied to the Violin Family and the Fiona." 11 In the Insti tution of which Mr. Cox is director are found registered Instructors at the Sftcred Heart Convent, seventh year, the Mount Ior etto Convent and Our Lady of Victory Academy, third year; Hellevu college, Fre mont Normal school, Blair, Nebraika City, Council Bluffs. Missouri Valley, Avoca, Car son, Atlantic, Washington, etc. High school orchestra and munlc supervises. Concert performers and students are registered from Chicago, Oklahoma City. Cheyenne and other distant cities. During seven years Henry Cox and his students have appeared five times as often as all others combined In the same branch of the art, before the Tuesday Morning Muatcal club.
