In 1912, she moved her program to Lombard College in Galesburg, Illinois, where she was given a custom-built studio for her work.[2] She continued to hold a summer school for music teachers in Chicago.[3] She was also musical director of the Galesburg Woman's Club.[4] Many of her students were employed as church soloists in the Chicago area.[5] She also taught voice in southern California.[6]
