About the author

Published material tied to this name shows U.S. School of Music as a correspondence-style music school active in the early 20th century, with historical references placing it among the better-known music-by-mail programs of that era and associating it with Philadelphia and New York. Later course listings and surviving lesson sets suggest the brand continued to be used for home-study music instruction across instruments such as piano and guitar.

What makes it interesting is the way it reflects an older model of music learning: structured lessons mailed to students, designed for steady progress outside a traditional classroom. Modern material connected with the current US School of Music / US School of Commercial Music presents that same basic idea in updated form, emphasizing flexible distance learning and practical training in contemporary styles.

Because this is an institutional author rather than a clearly identified individual person, there does not appear to be a single author portrait that can be confirmed safely for use here.
