THE number of gentlemen desiring to study and practise Vocal Music warrants the formation of two classes for beginners, one meeting at 3.30, and the other at 4.30, on Thursday afternoons, at Boylston Hall. Gentlemen may therefore come at either of these two hours. Mr. Carey will also form a class for practice in part singing by those who read music, at 2.30 on the same day, provided there is a sufficient number of tenors to make it practicable. Terms, $ 3.00, for the remainder of the Academic year.
