New Method Of Piano Teaching
The little English girl, photographed above, is learning to play the piano the new way, by following instructions and music projected on a screen.
This is the Robinson Audio-Visual system, devised by Teaching Developments, Ltd, of Britain. The manufacturers claim this new approach to initial instruction on the piano requires little more than six hours teaching time and should enable the beginner to play simple piano music at sight from standard notation.
The method is suitable for pupils from nine years old. It consists of 32 concise lessons on film-strips or slides, and sound tape. Three editions are available in Britain. The class edition, with economy as a first consideration, is used with any manu-ally-controlled film-strip or slide projector, and any standard tape recorder.
The automated class edition is used with remote-con-trolled equipment, a standard
tape recorder, and a synchronising device to read the pulses on the tape and work the projector. The automatic edition is used with a fully automatic projector.
