MRS.
ROWE DE DERKY
MRS. ROWE DE DERKY,
of San Francisco, received her musical education in New York, having devoted her whole time to voice culture and
vocal study. After completing her course she engaged in teaching in that
city, and later went to Cleveland, where she had a large class of pupils. On account
of ill health she was obliged to seek a more genial climate, and accordingly
came to California, where she engaged in teaching. She is very
thorough and painstaking in her methods, and her ability has met with deserved
success. She has a thorough musical education, which includes a knowledge of instrumental music, but vocal culture is her
specialty.
