A; MUSICAL EDUCATION ! FO^ A CROWN. . • I SHOULD BE IN ALL HOMES WHERE THBRK IS A. PIANO OR OKGAN. fjpHE above headiog will, of course, appear to JL most people as the height oL absurdity, yet Ihe absurdity is more apparent thau real. It goes without saying that a finished musical education in the regular course cannot be had fora crown, or even with several<hv.ndrecl additional crowus, but can ifc be trulhfully said that the person with a fcufficitat knowledge of music . to play accompaniments readiiy on the piano or j organ to all the popular and standard songs of the day has no musical education P Assuredly not. A musical education sufficient to enable one to play correctly accompaoiuioats to the 1 Bon^s sußg in tbe boma frequently gets and > gives more pleasure' from the modest accom- , plishmeut thau does .the acquirements of many , on whose education large turns have been expended. , ...,-,, To the more modest musical educ&'tioh the »bove heading applies. Such au education the' •Otago Witness iB now, enabled t-i offer its . music-loving readers fora crownrfceJieY'ttg that" it is tho greatest benefit it can give tout's subscribers. "J Thi«* 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 jet attained -by science. It is a short cut to harmooy, and is to music what the multiplication table is to arithmetic — a quick method of learning to play the Piano er Organ without a teacher. With Ibis chart anyone can with but a small amount of pracMce become an .expert accom.paniet. It is complete self-inatructo?, enabling anyone to play without difficulty «ocoinpaniinenta to any socg, ever written. It is valuable io the advanced musician as well as the beginner, embracing nearly every major aud miuor chord ueed in music, and is endoised by teachers and musicians everywhere. Ttiis chart is the practical i-esuifc of years of Btndy by Charles B. Pratb, the noted American ■ composer and musician, whose compositions ■have world-wide popularity and a larger eale than those of any other American or European .composer. Believing tfa»t the educational value of this Chart is very great, the Ota«o Witness has arranged with the publishers to supply, Frabl'fl Chart of Chords to its readers at 5s each, and in addition to the Chart of Chorda the publishers have kindly agreed to sestl without extra, charge v a copy of the Book of Songs, co\>tasniog 184 * songs, with words and music.
