play music at sight.
By my method, il does not take
from eight to fifteen years TO be
a good performer; the desired end
can be obtained in from two to-
four years. BY the old method
you spent from three TO four hun
bred dollars, and when your chill
dren leave college they know
very little Of the science Of mu-
sic, which they should have been
taught the first session.
BY my method every student,
in the course of sixty lessons,
will be able TO read, analyze and
count any piece of music, no
matter i'll what key, or how diff
cult They Will know every
chord, and the relationship Of the
different keys By my method
the students have to write every
thing they learn on the black
board and sheet music paper,
from the first note, scales, chords.
to the most difficult passages.
They will learn to read the notes
in every key, write pieces in diff
ferent times, analyze and count
them, learn the chords Of all the
keys, learn them by heart, prac-
tice them on the piano, in con
nection with the scales, which
will enable any one to play an
accompaniment in any key, by
heart. In the course Of sixty les
sons my students must be able TO
write music, set to notes little
melodies of their own. Writing
down what you want to study i'm
presses the mind, and cannot be
easily forgotten. You will un-
derstand music only, then, when
you are able to write it.
If a lady has never taken any
lessons, and after she has finished
the course, she can employ a
teacher to teach her how to fin
ger the scales and pieces in diff
| ferent keys, her musical educa-
ton should not cost her more than
from thirty to fifty dollars, as
practicing is the students work.
If lady has had from one TO two
years practice, and finishes my
course, she may dispense with
her teacher, as she will know
more about music than most OF
the teachers in the country.
