LHUSCO. : a¥usical education FOR HALF A_CROWN. SHOULD BE IN ALL HOMES WHERE THERE IS A PIANO OR ORGAN. THE above heading will, of course, appear to most people as the height oi absurdity, yet the absurdity is more apparent tban real. It goes without BayiDg thafc a fiuifhed nvisical education in the regular course cannot be had for a crown, or even with several hundred additional crowns, but can ifc be truthfully said that the person with a sufficient knowledge of music to play accompaniments readily oh the piano or organ to pll tbe popular and standard songs of the day has no musical education ? Assuredly nob. A tnu&ical education sufficient to enable one to play correctly accompaaiments to the eocts sung in the home frequently gets and gives more pleasure from the modest accomplishment than decs the acquirements of mar.y on whose education lsrge suniß have been expended. To the more modest; musical education the above he-ading applies. Such an education the Otacio Witness is now enabled to effer its music-loving readers for half a crown, the publishers having recently decided to reduce the price to tbat turn. This ready-made musical education consists of P/att's Chart o\ Chords for the Piano and Organ, which is the nearest approach to a ready-made knowledge of music yet attained by science. ' It is a short cut lo harmony, ai:d is to music what the multiplication table i 3 to arithmetic— a quick method of learning to play the Piano cr Organ without a teacher. With this ch-irt r.nyone c,n without a small amount of practice become an experb sccoaipsn'ißt. It is complete self-instrucior, enabling anyone to play without difficulty accompaniments to any sorg ever written. It is valuable to the advanced musician aB well as the beginner, embracing nr-arly 6very major and minor chord iued in music, ?nd ia eijdo/sed by teachers and musicians everywhere. This cbarb is tbo ptsctlcal result of jears of study by Charles B. Pratt, the noted American cempoeer 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 and pleasuregiving value of tlrs Charb is very great, the Otago WriNF&s has arranged with the publishers to supply PraU'u Chart of Chords to its readers at Halv a Ceown each, and in addition to the Chart of Chorda tho publishers have kindly agreed to Bend without extra charge a copy of the Book of Hongs, containing 184 songs, with words and music. Many of these eongs aro old-timo favouritea long out of print that can be obtained in no oilier way. Every homo that has a piano or organ, especially where there aro children, should have Pr&tt'B Chart of Chords.
