What is the key of good manners7
B-naturaL
Who is the greatest composer2
Sleep.
What is a slur? A mean remark of
one musician about another.
What is meant by singing with un-
derstanding? Beating time with your
feet
What is staccato movement?
Leaving the orchestra I'm huff.
What is swell? A conceited young
music teacher.
Why is an important young person
like music box? She is full Of airs.
Philadelphia Ledger.
Her Own Way.
When Polly goes into the parlor to play
She never minds what the little notes say
Nor peeps at a music book.
II play by ear says the little dear
When some of us think the music's queer,
$50 why should / need to look?"
When Polly goes into the kitchen to cook
She never looks at a cookery book
Nor a sign of recipe.
It's a dot of this and dab of that
And twirl Of the wrist and a pinch and
pat.
IT cook by hand" says she.
