Letter from Evan Stephens, 26 February 1890
Salt Lake City, Utah. Pres't. W. Woodruff. Dear Bro. Yours of the 8th inst came to hand a couple of days since. In reply I take pleasure in stating that anything I can do to aid in aid of musical progress in our community I shall take great pleasure in doing, and shall willingly cooperate with the Brethren mentioned in the matter. As I have hitherto been almost alone in this branch of general musical Education, I have keenly felt the want of what we are now about to seek for—especially "more uniform method." As much of the fruit of my labors would be annulled through the inability of my students to follow up this musical studies in the same order as they began, when circumstances would place them under other teachers. Indeed, (if I may be pardoned for going so far,) I have long felt that it is not only in our institutions of learning that this want of musical uniformity has been painfully apparent. Our choirs—(and that constitutes all our practically religious musical organizations)—neither work in uniformity
