A MUSICAL EDUCATION FOR A OROWii. BHOULD BE IK ALL HOMES WHERE THERE IS A PIANO OR ORGAN. THE above heading will, of course, appear to most people ac the height of absurdity, yet the absurdity is more apparent than real. It goes without saying that a finished musical education in the regular course cannot be had fora crown, or even with several hundred additional crowns, bat can it be truthfully said that the person with a Bufficienfc knowledge of music to play accompaniments readily en the piano or organ to all tbe popular and standard songs of the day has no musical education p Assuredly j not. A musical education sufficient to enable one to play correctly accompaniments to the songs sung in the home frequently gets and jives more pleasure from the modest accomplishment than does the acquirements of many on whose education large sums have been expended. To the more modest musical education the ibove heading applies. Such an education the Otago Witness is now enabled to offer its music-loving readers for a crown, believing that it is the greatest benefit it can give to its BubECribers. . This ready-made musical education consists of Pratt's Chart of Chords for the Piano and Organ, which is tbe nearest approach to a ready-made knowledge of music yet attained by science. It is a short cut to harmony, and is to music what the multiplication table is to arithmetic — fc quick method ef learning to play the Piano or Organ without a teacher. With this chart anyone can with but a small Amount of practice become an expert accompanist. It is complete self-instructor, enabling anyone to play without difficulty accompaniments to any song ever written. It is valuable to the advanced musician ai well as the beginner, embracing nearly overy major and minor chord used in music, and iB endoised by teachers and musicians everywhere. This charb is tbe practical result of years of rtudy by Charles B. Pratt, the noted American composer and musician, whose compositions have world-wide popularity and a larger sale than those of any other American or European composer. Believing that the educational value of this Chart is very great, the Otago Witness has arranged with the publishers to supply Pratt's Chart of Chords to its readers sit 5s each, and in addition to the Chart of Chords the publishers Ihave kipdly agreed to send without extra charge m .copy _of the Book of Songs, containing 184^ songs, with words and music. Many of these ■ongs are old-time favourites long out of print that can be obtained in no other way. Every home that has a piano or organ, especially where there are children, should have PratVa Chart of Chords. This offer is made for a short time only, and readers should avail themselves of it without delay. Address, with postal notes to value of 5?, Publishers Otago Witness, Dunedin.
