Excerpt from The Canadian Academy of Music Limited Toronto
It may seem a needless repetition to say that, "There is no royal road to learning," and that, "Genius is the capacity for taking infinite pains," but it is still true and will always be true. This is not discouraging, for earnest work will surely earn a proportionate recompense.
The important obligation of a School is to see that students have, during their time of study, guidance of undoubted authority; to instil respect and reverence for the good and beautiful in music; to help them make their work assume proportions which will cause a feeling of rightful pride and justify them in their endeavours.
Such are the ideals of The Academy, yet no claim is made of a monopoly of good intentions in this respect. There are many other schools imbued with similar ideals and whatever is done towards their accomplishment deserves encouragement. The future musical development of Canada rests mainly on the work done by such institutions.
What is practically a new nation is rapidly growing into existence. In the moulding of its destiny every earnest and honest aspiration for improvement will be of the utmost value. The cultivation of music in such a fruitful soil may yet bring forth noble results.
