The Arts. III. The Guildhall School Of Music. Continued
Again, a competition is held annually for the silver Jubilee Commemoration Cup. The successful student holds the cup for a year, and also receives a silver medal to keep. Two gold medals are also awarded - one for a lady violin student and one for a composition student. About two dozen prizes are given annually also, consisting of musical instruments, small sums of money, etc. A special syllabus, to be had from the secretary, gives particulars of various examinations open to the general public.
The fees are arranged in a way calculated to meet everybody's requirements. Instead of taking a course as at the two other colleges described previously, which includes a thorough musical training at a fixed fee, students may take a single subject, and any other subject can be taken at a reduced fee. Furthermore, each subject is divided into three sections, elementary, intermediate, and advanced, and a course of twenty-minute lessons can be had, or a course of thirty-minute ones. All this permits of very moderate fees, as will be seen.
There is an entrance fee of 5s., a deposit fee of 5S., and a term fee of 2s. 6d. The tuition fees are:

This table is for private lessons. Students taking private lessons have the privilege of being present for an extra hour in the classrooms. There are also classes, many of which are held in the evening. The highest fee for these is 2 guineas for orchestral or choral conducting class, while fencing and wind ensemble classes are 1 1/2 guineas per term.
Stage dancing, elocution, ear training in musical dictation, chamber music, French, and physical culture classes are 1 guinea a term. Instrumental sight-reading and rudiment classes are 7s. per term, and vocal sight-reading and sight-singing are 5s. per term. There is also a Guildhall Students' Orchestra and Opera Class, students' recitals and concerts weekly, and orchestral concert, and various other recitals and lectures.
The success of the school proves that such an institution was badly needed.
