Free Lessons in Portland
Over 200 Children Already Enrolled for Eight
Weeks' Free Course in Voice, Piano and
Other Instruments
PORTLAND, ORE., April 25.—Over 200 children
had been enrolled by Sherman, Clay & Co. in
a week's time after announcement that music
lessons without charge would be given by them
to children not having had previous musical in-
struction with instruments supplied without
charge for the lessons. An eight weeks' course
of group instruction is to be given in voice,
piano, violin, banjo, clarinet, trombone and
saxophone, with each class to be conducted by
a prominent accredited Portland music teacher.
Classes will be held in the Sherman, Clay &
Co. studios and are arranged so that pupils
from the same residence district may be to-
gether. This work will be carried on further
if at the end of the eight weeks' course it is
found practical to do so.
This constructive work is being done by Sher-
man, Clay & Co. to demonstrate to parents the
modern methods of teaching music, how quick-
ly their children can learn to'play and also to
enable the parents to ascertain whether or not
their children have any talent for music with-
out having the expense of engaging the serv-
ices of an instructor or buying an instrument.
It is expected that much new talent will be
found as well as many names added to the
list of real live prospects for musical instru-
ments.
Enrollment is in charge of Miss Elsie Kraus,
secretary in the piano department. Miss Kraus
reports an unusually large percentage of en-
tries for piano instruction, in fact, a little bet-
ter than twice as many enrolling for this in-
strument than any other. The violin and saxo-
phone are having a race for second place with
the violin a little the best of it at the present
writing. Miss Kraus reports that the banjo
