Miss Helen Mackin.
Miss Helen Mackin, who is well
known in Omaha as a piano teacher,
has reopened her studio in the Arling
ton block, where she will be pleased
to welcome not onlj her former pu

Miss Johanna Anderson.
Johanna Anderson bega'n her study
of singing at the Wayne Normal col
lege, where she received the $20 gold
prize awarded to the one making the
greatest progress in the music depart
ment. After three years of study in
Omaha she attended the Ypsilanti
conservatory of the Michigan State
Normal college, from which she
graduated. While there the director
of the conservatory chose her to as
sist him in teaching "elements of
music" to relieve an overcrowded con
dition of the schools an honor sel
dom conferred on a student.
Miss Anderson feels her best train
ing in teaching singing was received
from Eleanor Hazard Peocock. the
well known Detroit teacher, at, whose
home she lived a year and where she
had the unusual opportunity of hear
ing every lesson given by this teacher
besides her own lessons. For two
years Miss Anderson taught singing
in sioux City and was director of St.
Thomas Episcopal church choir. Since
then she has studied with Miss
Munchhoff in Omaha and has taken
work in methods of teaching singing
under some of the most noted teach
ers in Chicago, New York and London.
The number of public school music
classes for teachers has been doubled
this year and Miss Etta Young, who
has specialized in this work in Chicago
thist summer, will assist in teaching
them. A class in advanced sight
singing will also be organized.
innce Miss Anderson directs the
Immanuel Baptist choir her pupils
will have the opportunity of singing
in public whenever they are ready.
rnvate recitals are given at the studio
and a public one each spring. The
Pupils' Program club will meet once
month, which will be of value to
anyone interested in singing, whether
studying under some other teacher or
not
Robert Cuscaden.
Mr. Robert Cuscaden, violinist and
orchestra leader, who returns this
week to Omaha, his former home,
when asked recently as to the "why
for" of the name "Kuska," had the
following interesting story to relate:
After comDletinsr my five years as
first violin of the Berlin Philharmonic
orchestra I accepted an engagement
as concertmeister of the Opera
Comique, or Komische Opera of Ber
lin. I remained with the opera for
three vears. then I decided to launch
out into the concert world with my
own orchestra. My first engagement
of any prominence was at the enor
mous Coliseum in Berlin. As the city
advertising is regulated and limited to
an alloted space on the large circu
lar advertising columns set up ou
the street corners, the immediate re
sult was that the manager complained
of my name being too long; the let
ters necessarily being too small tor
suitable display. 1 immediately
manufactured Lint one to order by
taking the first two syllables of my
name and spelling with a 'K' instead
of a 'C,' as 'K' is generally substituted
for 'C in the German language. Un
der the name of Kuska I became
known all over German and the
Scandinavian countries but the odd
est result of the move happened right
in Boston.
"Mr. Stanley Tower of the Tower
Music bureau and 'a friend a well
known Boston physician who had
traveled quite extensively were list
ening to one of my concerts when
the doctor said to Mr. Tower: 'What
is his name, did you say?'
'That s Mr. Cuscaden, who has
arrived "from Berlin?' 'No it
said the doctor, 'that's
Kuska; I heard him in the Hotel Bris-

Henry Cox.
Henry Cox announces the comple
tion of twenty years' research and ex
periment in the aesthetic phase of vi
olin and cello playing. Specific defini
tions, never before published, have
been evolved, reducing to infallible
science the production of the beauti
fulin individual tones, and tonat
groups. The presentation of the de
finitions through the three great se
crets of pedagogy leads the student
to the highest, purest inspiration. The
terms, covering the perfectly co-ordinated
nuance, right and left, are
The strokes: The five syllable attacks
and releases, the vowel reiteration,
the horizontal curve, the vertical
curve, the spiral, the serpentine, the
simultaneous release and attack in
string crossing, the simultaneous
three and four part chord. The posi
tions: Minus, perfect, and plus, applied
to the nuance shift, and to enharmonic
changes in pure tonality. The shifts:
Simple, compound, reverse compound,
and surreptitious. The portamenti:
The single follow up, the double fol
low up. the reverse, the false, the
preparation spread for nuance descent,
the cross relation nuance ascent. The
vibrati: The limpid, middle curve,
florid, cylindrical, the half vibrato.
Goodwall Dickerrnan.
The Dickerrnan School of Acting,
Voice and Expression opened its fali
term this September with a splendid
outlook for the season. Mr. IMcker
man, its director, has made a special
study of placing and building the sing
ing and speaking voice and among
his students has many examples of the
excellent methods employed. The
work of the school is along broad
educational lines and has demonstrat
ed that full voice of ample volume
may be developed by methods where
the voice has otherwise has been
small.
Many of the former students of this
school are now filling responsible po
sitions as teSchers of oratory, drama
tic art and voice.
The department of drawing room
and society entertaining has prepared
host of young people to entertain
their friends and become easy conver
sationalists tith pleasing musical
voices.
JPrank Mach.
Frank Mach, concert violinist and
instructor, has a record which is the
envy of many older musicians. In
the short time he has taught here, he
received over 250 press comments on
his abilities. His. artistic products
are creating a decided stir in musical
circles. The best instructors through
out the country speak very highly of
his work. He has studied with the
best instructors here and in Europe,
which enables him to produce the
best of results.
Mr. Mach has proven to the public
that only the correct instruction pro
duces results.
The following advice should prove
of value to anyone wishing to make
good in the musical world.
First Select a teacher that has the
reputation of producing artistic pu
pils from the very beginning.
Second Don't take anybody's
word Mr. So and So is a first-class in
structor, but investigate personally, as
the country is full of would"-be teach
ers who don't know the first principle
of music, but acquire pupils through

a polished personality and flattery or
other means.
Third There are many teachers
who advertise as having taught in
various conservatories and are unable
to make good by their own efforts,
but take advanced pupils f other
teachers and advertise them as their
own. thereby getting the credit that
belongs to someone who can produce
results.
Fourth The pupils should get a
thorough training from the very be
ginning as wrong impressions stick
and when once acquired are hard to
eradicate. Some of the finest talent
in the world has been spoiled bv a
vrong start.
So many teachers make imitators of
their pupils instead of having them
acquire an individual understanding
of the art. Hours of practice with
out concentration of mind will not
produce results. It is waste of time,
money and energy to get a wrong
start. Many children have been
blamed for not having talent because
their playing sounded very bad. Only
hard, conscientious work both on the
teacher's and pupil's part will develop
or bring out trie talent.
Fifth Many people have a wrong
impression of orchestral work. The
orchestra does hot make the players,
but the players make the orchestra.
One must be able to do first-class in
dividual work, as mistakes cannot be
detected when surrounded by other
instruments, which at times make it
impossible to hear your own instru
ment. Time, intonation and expres
sion should be accurate before at
tempting any work of that kind.
Miss Emily Cleve.
Miss Emily Cleve, well known vio
linist, has been identified with musical
circles of Omaha since her younger
student days, and has established her
self as a sincere teacher and artistic
performer. Miss Cleve "did her bit"
this summer while on her vacation by
giving a concert for the Red Cross,
together with Miss Lillian Dahl, a
teacher in the Damrosch School of
Music in New York City.
Miss Cleve takes great interest in
her individual pupils and strives to
bring out their individual characteris
tics. A few selected press notices give
a hint of her work and her standing
in the musical life of the city.
"Of the soloists Miss Cleve car
ried off the honors. She has a full,
rich tone, which was heard above the
orchestra at all times." Omaha Bee.
"Miss Cleve rendered the 'Wiegen
lied,' by Schubert-Elman, with ex
quisite tone and soulful expression."
The Excelsior.
'The concerto in A Minor, Vieux
temps, gave Miss Cleve an opportun
ity to display a finished technique,
beautiful tone and musicianship in
interpretation." A. M. Borglum,
World-Herald.
Miss Mae Wetherill.
Miss Mae Wetherill, graduate of
Drake university and representative

mony, has reopened her studio in

which this system has made funda
mentally correct in presentation are:

ed of six pupils or less. Parents and
friends are cordially invited to at
tend piano instruction by private les
sftn. Free demonstration given by
