Film Fun (1928 - 1942 (assorted issues))

MUSIC LESSONS for as little as a day LEARNED QUICKLY AT HOME “I didn’t dream I could actually learn to play without a teacher. ... I had always heard it couldn’t be done. You can imagine my surprise when after 3 or 4 weeks I found I could play real tunes. Now when I play people will hardly believe that I learned to play so well in so short a time. Any per¬ son who takes your piano course and studies it can¬ not help but learn to play." •h. c. s., California You, too, can learn to play your favorite instrument — quickly, easily — right in your own home! FOUND ACCORDION EASY “I’ve always wanted to play the piano accordion,” writes *H. E. -from Canada. “But thought I’d never learn it. Then I read about your lessons. I don’t know how to express my satisfaction.” BEST METHOD BY FAR “Enclosed is my last examination sheet for my course in Tenor Banjo. This completes my course. I have taken les¬ sons before under teachers, but my in¬ structions with you were by far the best." M 0 Minn YOU SAY you’d love to learn music but can’t afford it? That you haven’t the money it takes for a private teacher, and all the necessary extras? Then listen to this ... You can now learn to play your favorite instrument — just as thousands of others have — for AS LITTLE AS SEVEN CENTS A DAY! And that small sum covers everything — including sheet music! It doesn’t take long, either. You can learn to play quicker than you ever dreamed possible! Learn to play by playing Real Tunes Yes, that’s exactly what you do. From the very beginning you actually play familiar little melodies. As you master one tune, you go on to another, and an¬ other. You’re more than delighted with the rapid progress you make. How is it possible, you ask. Well, you learn by a new modern method that does away with hum¬ drum scales and exercises. You spend your practice time playing interesting pieces from real notes. It’s really FUN learning to play this modern way — it makes practic¬ ing a pastime and a pleasure instead of a bore. What’s more, this method is not a trick one — not an experiment. You learn to play from notes. More than 700,000 pupils from all over the world have enrolled for this amazing course. A Sound, Practical Method The secret of this method that has taught thousands to play in their spare time, right at home, is simple. It’s based on the fact that the lessons not only tell you what to do in the printed instructions. They actu¬ ally show you— with large, clear pictures— exactly what positions to take — every move to make. You read how to play a certain tune — you see how to play it — then you play it and hear how it goes. A teacher at your side couldn’t make it more clear. You just can’t go wrong!
