But now, after over twenty-five years of steady growth, I have far more students than were ever before taught by one man. I am able to make them successful players of the piano or organ in quarter the usual time at quarter the usual cost. To persons who have not previously heard ol my method this may seem a pretty bold statement. But I will gladly convince you of its accuracy by referring you to any number of my graduates in any part of the world. There isn't a state in the Union that doesn't contain many players of the piano or organ who obtained their training from me by mail. Investigate by writing for my 64-pagc free booklet, "How to Learn Piano or Organ." My way of teaching piano or organ is entirely different from all others. Out of every four hours of study, one hour is spent entirely away from the keyboard — learning something about Harmony and the Laws of Music. This is an awful shock to most teachers of the "old JBB» school," who still think j^^^^ Bk, * that learning piano is — JF ^St" 4 solely a problem of "fin 1— .3 ger gymnastics." When you do go to the keyboard, you accomplish twice as much, because you understand what you are doing. Within four lessons I enable you to play an interesting piece not only in the original key, but in all other keys as well. I make use of every possible scientific help — many of which are entirely unknown to the average teacher. My patented invention, the COLOKOTONE, sweeps away playing difficulties that have troubled students for generations. By its use, Transpositionusually a "nightmare" to students — becomes easy and fascinating. With my fifth lesson I introduce another important and exclusive invention. QUINN -DEX. Ouinn-Dex is a simple, hand-operated movingpicture device, which enables you to see, right before your eyes, every movement of my hands at the keyboard. You actually see the fingers move. Instead of having to reproduce your teacher's linger movements from MEMORY— which cannot always be accurate— you have the correct model before you during every minute of practice.

They can be obtained only from me and there is nothing else anywhere even remotely like them. Men and women who have failed by other methods have quickly and easily attained success when studying with me.

For the student of moderate means, this method of studying is far superior to all others; and even for the wealthiest student, there is nothing better at any price.
