Conservatory Recitation & Lecture Room First Floor.

Description

This image depicts a class being taught in the Conservatory Recitation and Lecture room by the Director of the Conservatory Frederic Pease. Music was a required course for graduation. While the Music course offered by the Normal was free, students who wished to receive advanced voice or instrument training had to pay to take courses in the Conservatory. Students who wanted to join the Normal Choir were required to have passed the music course, in which they were taught how to read music and cultivate their voices.
