The Guidite World
of Music
By Miss Ethel Jones
Jazz Piano Playing

One of the questions most fire.
auently asked a teacher is whether
the playing of jazz mdl not inter
fere with the playing of classical
music. The answer is this. Too
many students will play jazz I'M
Known to the teacher and as a re-
suit develops a careless reading of
notes and a sloppy hand position,
both of which are extremely detri-
mental to true pianist's progress.
Through the careful supervision
of a teacher this will not happen
And far more music will be learn
ed because of the student interest
in what he is playing.
There is a wealth of rhythm,
melody and harmony in jazz. Some
of the melodies are tfite, some
catchy and some are downright
haunting, but a student who Learns
to become conscious of the melody
in jazz is the one who becomes
conscious of the stream of tone
biendings found in finer music.
Attractive jazz playing demands
an intelligent understanding of
major and oSchords to provide
the harmony and establish the
rhythm. If the student learns Haese
chords, he will be able to recognize
them in their broken forms as so
often found in classical music.
The love for fine music must be
introduced gradually and tactfully
to the youth of today. And only
after the thirst for Something
popular" has been quenched will
the student apply himself diligent-
ly to the studies of Izerny, Bach,
and Heller.
Hence, a teacher who will sup
ervise the jazz as we'll as the
classical playing of the student will
not make jazz ~pianists, but future
artists and appreciative listeners 70
the finest that is to be found In
the world Of music.
