Scranton Conservatory of Music.
The Tribune is proud to have among
Its special rewards a full year's schol
arship In one of the leading education
al Institutions of Scranton the Scran
ton Conservatory of Music. The pub
lic Is beginning more nnd more to com
prehend the educational Importance of
music, which Is unequalled as a means
of mental discipline, and which, nt the
same time, cultivates and refines the
sensibilities as nothing else does, and
exerts the greatest power towards ren
dering the Individual and the homo
happy. A tremendous advance In
musical training has been mado in this
country during the last twenty years,
for which the conservatories have been
mainly responsible. The conservatory
system was brought from Europe,
whither musicians from this country
had gone to study In the famous con
servatories at Lelpsle, Horlln, Paris,
and other Important centers.
The director of the Scranton Conser
vatory, Professor J. Alfred Penning
ton, Is, as will bo seen from the short
biographical sketch appended to this
article, thoroughly conversant with
conservatory methods from practical
experience as a student or teacher In
some of the Icadlnjr conservatories of
the world.
FOUNDING OF TIIR SnitANTON
CONSEItVATOItY.
Professor Pennington came to this
city in. September, 1895, shortly after
his return from his second period of
study In Paris, to become organist of
Kim Park church, which position he
fi till holds. In a short time he had
made nn enviable reputation for him
self, both In church nnd concert. In
the summer of ISiiti In- advertised his
"School for Piano, organ and Voice"
at his residence, and engaged Sllss
Katharine Timborman, now Mrs. Tlm-berman-Handolpb,
w ho had only Just
returned from protracted study in
Paris and I.nnilnn. as ocal teacher, a
position which flu mill IkiIiIk.
The accommodations of a residence
soon grew too small for the Increasing
patronage and suitable quarters were
sought and obtained In the new Carter
building. Adams avenue and Linden
street, the present home of the con
servatory. Still gi eater success at
tended the school In Its new quarters
nnd ns tin conservatory (system had
been taught from the ilrst, other de
partments were added and the name
was changed to the Scranton Conser
vatory of Music. From the various
departments of the Conservatory, The
Tribune has chosen ns a special re
ward a full year's course In piano In
struction, which Is to be given under
the Faelten method.
After using the system employed In
tho conservatories of the world with
signal success, Mr. Pennington's at
tention was drawn to the Faelten
method, which seemed to offer many
points of supeilorlty over the older
method nnd wns receiving morked at
tention thioughout the United Stntes.
Some of the features of the Faelten
method were Introduced Into tho con
servatory last September, with the re
sult that the past year has been the
most successful in Its history. During
the coming school year, beginning
Sept. 13, the Faelten method will bp

taught In Its entirety In the conser
vatory. Tho Faelten Piano Method.
Tho Faelten method wns evolved
from the brains of Carl Faelten nnd
his brother, Hhelnhold Faelten. Carl
Faelten Is a noted German pianist,
who wns for many years head of the
pianoforte department of the New
England Conservatory of Music, Ilos
ton, nnd later became the dheetor of
that great Institution. After holding
this position several years Mr. Faelten
resigned to form tho Faclton Piano
forte School, of l'los'on, which should
bs the exponent of tho Faelten meth
od. This school has had unparalleled
success. In Hoston, tho most music
ally crltlcul city In the Union, the
home of the largest conservatory In
this country, crowded as It Is with
private teachers and music schools,
the Faelten Pianoforte School has rls-
In the Scranton Conservatory the
prices of tuition are reckoned by the
school year, as they are In academies,
colleges nnd universities. In the piano
department the student has the choice
among seven different courses In the
Faelten method, comprising; from two
to six lessons per week, the tuition for
which ranges from $30 to $120 per year.
Private lessons may be had If desired.
The course given as n special reward
by The Tribune Is a J7S course, known
as course D, which Includes throe les
sons per week.
The studios of tho conservatory are
unusually light, cheerful rooms. There
are, in all, fourteen pianos and a pipe
organ In the Institution.
Tho Faculty.
The faculty In the pianoforte depart
ment of the conservatory will consist
this coming year, beginning Sept. 13,
of Professor J. Alfred Pennington nnd
Miss M. A. French.
Miss French Is ci graduate of tho
Faelten Pianoforte School, Hoston, nnd
has had the high distinction of being
a teacher In this famous school dur
ing the past two years. It was on the
special recommendation of Mr. Faelten
that she was engaged by Mr. Penning
ton for next year.

en to the distinction of hnvlng the
largest number of students of tho
piano of any Institution In this coun
try. Counting ns It dues Its students
by the hundreds, there must be vital
elements In the Faelten method
strangely endowed with magnetic
drawing power. The method begins
with the youngest children, and fiom
the beginning grade to the graduating
grade the student Is developed In nn
entirely orlglnnl manner, which pro
duces the cultured musician nnd pian
ist to a degree which no other method
does. It Ifl taught In two varieties of
class rooms the fundamental and
general training class rooms, contain
ing eight plnnos, and clans looms for
studies nnd pieces containing four
pianos. All students participate one or
more hours per week In the general
training classes, no matter how ad
vanced they may be, but students
nbovo the beginning grade devote one
or more hours pqr week (according to
the couise chosen) to the recitations of
studies and pieces In claries of four.
As Viewed by n Visitor.
Let the reader consider himself a
visitor at one of the fundamental or
genernl training class lessons. As the
hour stilki.s eight pupils file Into the
room nnd oath soots himself at' a
plnno. Then, In the time Indicated by
a metmnome, and according to the
stage ot pi ogress of the pupils, there
follows a drill In some of the follow
ing subjects: The touch, Intervals and
playing from Intervals, ecales anil nr
pegglos In all the major nnd minor
keys, technical exercises In vailed
forms, transposition, Mght playing,
keyboard harmony, etc , all of which Is
extremely Interesting alike to listener
and participants. Eery student Is
prop j. Ai.Fitr.n rnwixGTOK.
T
studiously bent upon his task. There
Is no flagging of attention. To make
a mistake in a prlvatv le.ss.on Is a mat
ter of small Impoitance; but to make
one here Is another matter entirely.
What otheis will think and eay Is as
much to be regarded In this lesson as
It Is In the big world outside. And,
then, the exhilaration that comes from
so ninny interested in the same thing
and doing the same thing in perfect
time!
The Subjects Studied.
Many of the subjects treated at great
length In theso lessons are never
touched upon In private lessons.
Among tho books written nnd pre
pared by Mr. Faelten for use In theso
fundamental and general training
classes aro the following: "Funda
mental Training," "Fundamental
Header," "Transposition Header,"
"Exercises for Intermediate Orades,"
"Prepaiatory Exercises," "Keyboard
Harmony," "Exercises nnd Scales,"
"Stuff Header" (course In sight lead
ing), "Exercises for Advanced Grades,"
and others.
It will be observed that as In tho
fundamental nnd general training
classes, nnd in u large portion of the
other work, tho students reclto to
gether, ench pupil has tho full benefit
of the entire lesson hour quite ns much
as If he were alone, with tho tremend
ous added advantages In tho way of
overcoming timidity In playing before
others, exacting drill In perfect time,
and marked enthusiasm and Incentive
to excel which are always notable
characteristics of work that Is done
by several students together. Since
tho classes aro graded, a further In
centive Is the promise of promotion to
Industrious students,
As several pupils participate In the
same lessons the expense of the In
struction Is divided among them, con
sequently tho Faelten method puts the
very best Instruction within the finan
cial reach of even the poorest students.
In 1SS4 he resigned his position ns ar
gunlst of St. John's cathedral, Qulncy,
III., to enter the New Fngland Conser
vatory, Hoston, where he studied under
lending teachers. Shortly after going
to Hoston he was engaged as organist
of the Harvard Street Baptist church,
which, at that time, was noted for Its
elaborate musical services. Here he
had a fine organ, a splendid quartette
choir, and a large chorus of selected
voices, every one of whom was paid
The colossal expense of this musical
fence, which aggregated $10,000 a year,
wns met entirely by the publisher of
the well known Youth's Companion,
who, In 1SS9. became Professor Penn
ington's benefactor by sending him to
Europe for study under fnmous teach
eis. He llrst went to Paris, where ho
became a pupil of the most celebrated
organist In the world, Alexandre Qull
mant. Musical theory he studied with
Theodore Dubols.organlflt of the Made
leine, and director of the Paris Con
servatoire. The following year ho
went to Berlin, where he studied piano
with Helnrlch Ehtilch, and organ with
August Haupt, the most famous of
fierrann organ teacners. Through the
Influence of Albert Becker, director ot
the Hoynl Choir, with whom ho
studied musical theory, Professor Pen
nington wns honored with an Invlta
tlon to play In several Court con
certs which wero under the pa
tronage of the emperor nnd
empress. He returned In the sum
mer of 1892 to Vmerlca to ac

fessor of piano and pipe organ In the
conservatory of music connected with
Oberlln college. At the close of the
school year In 1894 he resigned this po
sition to return to Paris for further
study with Gullmant. He returned to
