I feel sad when 1 see so many
men and women who are full Of
music and talent wasting it
through sheer indifference. I
know many who have beautiful
voices, many who have musical
ears for various instruments,
and who are unwilling to de-
velop into the performers they
could be. OF course, it is web to
count the cost before venturing.
1t means sacrifice of many
things to become a good perfor-
ner, and I am not thinking of
money either. You must resolve
to apply yourself to routine,
looking to the forming OF the
habit which will make you pro-
ficient. You cannt get UP and
perform without hard applica-
ton to your studies, and you
must not always blame your
teacher for your own shortcom-
IngS. Remember that we point
you to the right road, but you
have to walk that road yourself.
It is not enough to practise
when you go to your lesson, but
you must practise at every OPP
oortunity between lessons, if you
expect to get anywhere. The
ability to perform is a social as
we'll as a financial asset, and
you could do worse than check
your abilities with some Compel
ent teacher, and find If you can
do something you don't suspect.
The pleasure of study and per-
torrance will pay big dividends.
