Frank Mach. concert violinist and in
structor, has established for himself an en-
viable reputation. Through his honesty
and perseverance he has produced over
eighty artistic students. who have surprised
the music lovers with their excellent play
Ing. Mr.. Mach says:
Studying under an incompetent teacher
u bound TO be the downfall of a talented
scholar. Many parents misjudge their chill |
dren by assuming that they have no talent, |
owing to the fact that they have studied |
wrong principles. Good talent Is always
spoiled by poor instruction.
Beginners should commence their stud |
les with a competent teacher, as good prog !,
fess can only be made on a proper founda- |
ton. and bad habits once acquired, are |
difficult to eradicate. For the fullest re-
eltzation Of success, every phase Of the finer |
points Of violin playing must be considered
individually, and not in classes" !
Mr.. Mach has over 200 flattering press |
comments on his wonderful abilities Lea
Musical Courier. writes: frank Mach is
one Of the most ambitious and serious
minded pedagogues we have met in long !
while He paid his own way through a
course Of study abroad. although his father,
has means. and with the same self-reliantS
spirit this Omaha violin instructor is
building up large following and asking
fayors Of no one"
