A MUSICAL EDOOATIOfi FOR HALF AJDROWN. SHOULD BE IN ALL HOMES WHERE ] THERE IS A PIANO OR ORGAN. j F|p|HE above heading will, of course, appear to ■ JL most people as the height of absurdity, j yefc the absurdity is mere apparent than real. { It goes without saying that a finished musical , education in the regular course cannot be had j for a crown, or even with several hundred addi- I tional crowns, but can it be truthfully said that the person with a 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 education P Assuredly cot. A musical education sufficient to enable one to play correctly accompaniments to the gongs sung in the home frequently gets and 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 to offer its music-loving readers for half a crown, the publishers having recently decided to reduce the price to that sum. This ready-made musical education consists ! of Pratt's Chart of Chords for the Piano and Organ, which is the nearest approach to a ready-made knowledge of music yet attaiued by science. It is a short cut to harmony, and is to music what the multiplication table is to arithmetic — a 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. Kb 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 be* ginner, embracing nearly every major and minor chord used in music, and is endorsed by teachers and musicians everywhere. i This chart is the practical result of years of study by Charles <E. 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 and pleasuxegiving value of this Chart is very great;, the Otago Witness has arranged with the publishers to supply Pratb'a Chart of Chords to its readers at Half a Crotch each, and in addition to the Chart of Chords the publishers i have kindly agreed to, send without extra charge ! a copy of the Book of Songs, containing 184 ! songs, with words and music. Many of these aongs are old-time favourites long out of print that can be obtaiued in no other way. Every home that has a piano or organ, especially where there are children, should have Pratt's Chart of Chords.
