LEARNING TO HEAR TONE

After noting how careful study of
pedal effects increases interest in pi.
ano practise for even quite young stu.
dents, teacher writing in the Wo-
mans Home Companion has this i'm
portant bit OF advice to give:
One of my pupils sometimes tells
me that she wishes she could play a
piece as play 1t. II is simple piece,
perhaps. She knows all the notes
and has mastered the technical Difficult.
ties, and yet we play 1t differently
The difference lies chiefly In this:
have listened carefully, watchfully. ac.
curately to every note have played
to every tone and every effect. II she
listened as ! do. she would play as
do.
Listen then; above all. learn to list
en-. Just as a painter must learn to
see color accurately, correctly, truth
fully. just so pianist must learn to
hear accurately. correctly, truthfully
The training OF the ear Is not less i'm
portant to the pianist than the train
ing Of the eye to the painter.
You can cultivate the skill of your
ear as you can cultivate the skill OF
your fingers, and until you have done
this you will make no great progress
The technique OF the ear, II I might sc
| express 1t must be cultivated as care
fully AS the technique OF the fingers
and this can be done only by repeated
listening.
Strike a note. listening carefully tC
the effect produced: pause. lister
again. Try out every phrase; study
your pedal Effects, listen to the vol
ume. duration and color OF your tone
note carefully what effects you ge
from pedaling in this way or that. i
Is even good idea to close the eye,
and concentrate entirely on hearing
All this is practising, and practising
of the best sort. beside which the old
dull, unthinking hour of mechanical
repetition of scales" and exercises
and piece" seems a very unintelligen
