Benedict Bantly, conservatory, 1906

Victoria Daily Times, 11 Oct 1906

Benedict Bantly, who recently opened a studio in the Garesche building, has determined to introduce a little innovation into his methods of teaching here. At the request of a number of friends he has decided to commence class tuition along the lines of the Liepzig and other large European conservatories. This system has served special advantages in that a pupil has the opportunity of benefiting by the instruction given to others in the same class and gains confidence by playing before them. Other advantages are also claimed for this system.
