A MUSICAL EDUCATION FOR A CROWftS. | SHOULD BE IN ALL HOMES WHERE THERE IS A PIANO OR ORGAN. THE above heading wiil, of course, appear to most people as the height of absurdity, jet the absurdity is more apparent than real. It goes without saying (hat a fiuithed musical education in the regulnr course cannot be had for* crown, or eveu with several hundred additional crowns, bat can it be truthfully said that the person with st sufficient knowledge of music to play accompaniments readily on the piano or organ to all the popular and standard songs of the day has no musical educs-Hou ? Assuredly not. A musical education sufficient to enable one to play correctly accompaniments to the songs sung in" the home frequently gets and t gives 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 above heading applies. Such an education the Otago "Witness is now enabled tn <ffer itg music-loving .readers, for a. crown, believing that it is the greatest benefit it can give to its subscribers. This ready-made musical education consists of Pratt's Chart of Chords for the Piano aud Organ, which is the 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 — a quick method ©f learning to play the Piano or Organ without & teacher. With this chart anyone cm with but %. small amount of practica 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 as well as the beginner, embracing nearly every major and minor chord used in music, and is endorsed by teachers and musicians everywhere. This chart is the pract'eal result of years of study by Charleß B. Pratt, the noted American composer and musician, vthesa 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 Otagc* Witness has arranged with' the publishers to supply Pratt's Chsrt of Chords to its readers at 5s each, and in addition to the Chart of Chords the publibherß have kindly agreed to send without extra charge a copy of the Bock of Songs, containing 184songs, with words and music. Many of these songs are old-time favourites long out of print that can~be ob'aiued in no other way. Every home that has a piano or organ, especially where' there are children, should have Prktt's Chart of Chords. This offer is made for a short time only, and - readers should avail themselves of it without delay. Address, with postal nobsa to value of ss, Publishers Otago Witness, Dunedin.
