FOR HALF A_CROWN. SHOULD BE IN ALL HOMES WHERE THERE IS A PIANO OR ORGAN. {'TRI-IE above heading will, of course, appear to JL most people as the height of absurdity, Ie« the absurdity is more apparent than r?ai. It goes without saying Ihai a finished musical education in the regular courao csuuot be had for a crown, or even with several hundred additional crowns, but. can it be truthfully said that the perfon with a fcufficicnt knowledge of music to play accompaniment* readily on the pisno or organ to &1L the popular and standard songs of the clay has ao musical education ? Assuredly cot. A mu&ical education sufficient to enable one to play correctly accorapaaimeuts to the songs sung in the horns frequently gets and gives mote pleasuie from the modest accomplishment than does the acquirements of many on whose education large sums have been expended. To the njora modest musical education the above headiug applies. Such aa education the Otago Witness is now enabled to effer its music-loving readers for half a crown, the publishers having rerently decided to reduce the price to that sum. This ready-made musical education consists of Pratt's Charb of Chords i'or the Fiano and 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 of learning to play the Piano or Organ without a teacher. With this chart anyone can with but a small amount of practice become an experfc 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 endoised by teachers and musicians everywhere. This chart is the practical result of years of study by Chailes B. Pivitfc, 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 tho educatioaal and pleasuregiving valun of this Charb is very great, the Otago Witness has arranged with the publishers to supply PraU'a Chart of Chords to its readers at Half a Chown each, and in addition to the Chart of Chorda the publishers have kindly agreed to send without extra charge a copy of the Book of Songs, containing 184songs, with words and music. Many of these songs 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 Pratt's Chart of Chords. Addrees, with postal notes to value of 2s Gd, with l^d for postage, PuUisbess Otago Witness, liunedin.
