                    MRS. LUVENIA BLAILOCK DICKERSON

MRS. LUVENIA B. DICKERSON introduced the Dunning System of Music in
Louisiana and Shreveport, teaching it in this city from September, 1921, to
June, 1926. An ardent disciple of the system, she dared to come to a place
that hitherto knew nothing of it, yet she produced results that critics called
marvelous.

No teacher of piano for beginners has ever been more successful-perhaps few so
much so-that  she was  during the years  she  taught here.

It was not the system alone that was responsible for this marked success. She
is a born Dunning teacher and in spite of great handicaps, such as would have
overcome the average individual; by dint of hard study for years, step by
step, she reached the point of proficiency that permitted her boldly to open a
new and pleasant path in the field of music here. Staunchly she set out, armed
with an irresistibly charming manner which won at once the heart and love of
each child who became her pupil.  This sincere personality was one of the
factors responsible for her success. And not only did her influence
lead toward Musicland-as it is known in this world-hut it also inspired higher
and nobler living, helping to attune the little lives to rhythms of gladness
and joy.

But Mrs. Dickerson's heart turned back to Dallas where her only daughter. Mary 
Christine, rests, so she gave up her large, wonderful  classes here and is now
living in Dallas, Texas.

Success has no chance of escaping Mrs. Dickerson wherever she may SD hecause
she is a systematic and an indefatigable worker.

Mrs.  Dickerson was the pupil of Rudolph Klepsig, Musical Art Institute,
Oklahoma City;  Rudolph Hoffman (deceased), Baylor University, Waco, Texas;
Moissaye Boguslawski, Bush Conservatory, Chicago; Ernesto Beramen, La Forge
Studio, New York City.
