Play In the Dark.

Because they have no sight and
must cultivate their sense OF feeling
the blind are peculiarly sensitive Of
touch. The average piano student
can profit by the knowledge and help
himself more than he realizes by a
few minutes of nightly practice with.
out artificial light Try going to the
piano when the lights are low, or not
burning at all. Run over the scales
in consecutive order. Then play the
arpeggios and running chords OF the
dominant seventh and diminished
fifth. Then let yourself go on the
pieces you have memorized. You viii
find yourself musically awakened. for
you can hear better when you are not
distracted by what you see, ard your
touch will become mors firm and sure
and your dependence on printed notes
will gradually grow less.
