3When the "National Music Course" was published there were few teachers prepared to use a graded series like this to advantage. So the company started a school, called the National Summer School of Music, which was organized October 1, 1886, in Boston. Daily sessions were held through the entire first year and diplomas were granted September 2, 1887. The first summer sessions were instituted in 1888 and the first diplomas for summer school work were granted in 1891.

24Eastern sessions of the summer school, which was a three-year course, have been held in Boston, Plymouth in 1896, Glens Falls 1898, and Asbury Park, New Jersey. At the twelfth session, held at Asbury Park, the subjects taught were music, drawing, physical culture and vertical penmanship. Western sessions were held at Chicago and Detroit. The eastern sessions were discontinued first.8 The advance in the subjects taught is shown by the list of courses of the last sessions held at Lake Forest, Illinois, namely child voice, chorus, ear training, elements and notation, harmony, history, interpretation, melodic construction, methods for grades and high schools, practice teaching, sight singing and orchestra.
