Excerpt from Zeckwer-Hahn Philadelphia Musical Academy Catalogue, 1933-1934, Vol. 64 The list of artist pupils who received their training at the academy is a long one, many of whom are well known throughout the musical World. But the school derives its greatest satisfaction from the thousands of individuals who have shared its instruction and as a result have had an abiding interest in and appreciation of music. Its thoroughness, its essential soundness, its refusal to countenance any policy not relevant to good musician ship have enabled it to maintain its well-deserved pre-eminence. Both for the professional and for the amateur there are courses of instruction to cover any requirement. For the professional, courses are provided which will lead to the Degrees of Bachelor of Music and Master of Music. These degrees are in conformance with the rulings of the National Association of Schools of Music. For the amateur, there is possible the widest diversity of course selection, entirely dependent upon individual prefer ence. Special courses are outlined. For children. Throughout the school year the promising pupil has many opportunities to develop poise and platform presence. There are frequent student recitals to which the public is invited. The school has its own symphony orchestra which prepares a notable series of concerts. A number of times a week radio recitals are released over excellent broadcasting stations. In teaching, the school follows a policy of decentralization. The offices of administration, the artists' studios and the main school have headquarters in the building at 1617 Spruce Street. Branch schools are located in West Philadelphia, Tioga, and Germantown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
