GORDON GOOCH, Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, London, and Bronze and Silver Medallist of that Institu tion, receives Pupils for Singing at his private residence in 'Wakefield-street, or af the Auckland Music Warehouse. During Mr Gooch's residence in London, he had the nonour of being associated, as Principal .

Signor Albkrto Randeggeb says:—"Mr Gordon Gooch has always proved himself most efficient and thoroughly reliable in all the Concerts he sang at under my direction. Madame Sainton-lioiby:—"Your rendering . of the basso solo music in my Cantata [St. Dorothea] was extromely effective." PROFESSOR DR. Macfarrkn :—" Has a powerf a and unußually-extensive voice j is an excel lent reader at first sight; and, in enunciation i of words, is very good." i Mr Walter Lacy :—" Elocution, excellent. ) Mr Lewis Thomas also writes:—"AH the < gentlemen in the Choir [the Temple Church ] and Mr Edward Hopkins [the organist j Bpeak in the highest terms of your singing.' ( Mb Walter Macfarrkn :—" Has a remark- - ably flna bass voice, sings in tune, and is a I capital reader." Mr Frank R. Cos:-" Possesses a fine voice, I and has sung in various parts of England with great success." Tho original letters from which the aßOve is quoted are in Mr Gooch's possession, together with the highest opinions of the London and Provincial PreFS, such a« "The Musical Times," "Mußica World," " Daily Telegraph," "Era'; Sec., &c. The Committee of the Royal Academy ot Music, under whose signature and seal Mr Gooch io empowered to teach singing, includes the following names of world-wide celebrity :— Sir Julius Benedict, Mr F.
