TRINITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC. TO THE EDITOB. Sib, —Your correspondent " R.A.M. " in (his morning's Times has entirely misinterpreted the examiner, Mr Charles Ed wards's, remarks re tho position claimed by Trinity College, London. In his admirable address to over forty teachers of music in- Duncclin last Wednesday, Mr Edwards particularly pointed out that there were three recognised examining institutions of music in London— viz., Trinity College, Tho Incorporated Society of Musicians, and the Associated Hoard of The Royal Academy of Music and The Royal College of Music, pointing out that Trinity College was ' the founder of the examining bodies, being in the field 12 years before either of the others, and that there is no friction of any kind between them. Mr Edwards also stated that' ho was continually preparing candidates for each institution. With regard to the second paragraph, re " some teachers in the colonies who have climbed higher (?) than the Koyal Academy and other London schools, and have received their musical instruction in the world-re-nowned conservatories of Paris, Leipsic, Beriin, Brussels, etc.," I auk:, Where-are these teachers? If they are here in the colonies, let them prove their worth by going in next year for the higher examinations in either Trinity College or the Associated Board, and it will be most interesting to see how they will como out of the ordeal. —I am, etc., ■ Abthto J. Baeth, Local Secretary for Dunedin Trinitv College, London. November 21.
