5DE KYZER STUDIO MUSICALE
6Marie De Kyzer, soprano and vocal teacher, invited a score of musical people to a Studio Musicae, January 3, at which a delightful program was given. James Westley White, baritone, of Greensboro, N. C., and Mme. De Kyzer provided the vocal numbers, Mr. White singing arias and modern songs, ranging from Handel to Fisher, in a manner which showed the versatile and experienced artist. Sweet and expressive was the hostess' voice in songs by Grieg and Rasbach, while fine climactic tones came from her throat in A Memory (Ganz) and To the Sun (Curran). The audience was most appreciative. Regenia Schiller and W. Frank Chatterton played sympathetic accompaniments.

23JULIUS LEEFSON OPENS CONSERVATORY
24Julius Leefson was born in Amsterdam, Holland, and received his first instruction in music from his father, Jaques Leefson. He next studied at the Amsterdam School of Music under Henri Tibbe and Coenen, the latter a pupil of Liszt.
26Mr. Leefson took the examination at the Cologne Conservatory of Music, was accepted as a pupil and studied with Isadore Seiss. Wishing to continue his studies under the great European masters, after his graduation, he went to Brussels and placed himself under the Belgian pianist, Arthur de Greef. He then began an extensive and successful tour as soloist through Holland, Belgium and Germany, and organized the Brussels Trio, which played before the royalties of Europe.
28At the request of Maurits Leefson, he came to the United States to join the faculty of the Leefson-Hille Conservatory of Music, where he ably assisted his brother for twenty-one years, until the latter's death. On October 1, Mr. Leefson opened a new Conservatory under the name of the Leefson Conservatory of Music, with the same faculty which composed the former one. Mr. Leefson himself is not only a pianist of distinction and sound musicianship, but he also has the gift of imparting his knowledge to his pupils, many of them having been engaged as soloists with the leading orchestras in the country.
