Besides  the  means  for  thorough  instruction  and  prac-
tice  afforded  at  the  institution,  external  opportunities
for  the  cultivation  and  refinement  of  the  musical  taste
of  the  pupils,  and  the  development  of  their  artistic
sense,  have  been  eagerly  sought  and  amply  enjoyed.
