Historical Context

The German-American Conservatory of Music was incorporated in Arizona, but was located in Chicago. The company's offices were located on State Street.

The company offered a mail order piano instruction business, and had a number of copyrighted works including The Acrobat, The Chorister, Fairy Nocture, Fishing Excursion, Frolic with the Ponies, Jack 'O Lantern Party, Sabbath Chimes and Sweet Clover Waltz.

The company touted a "revolutionary" teaching method known as "The Music Master," which promised "No more hours of endless drudgery...no more mistakes...no more failures."
