Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section ril Teach You Piano In Quarter Usual Time To persons who have not previously heard of 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 skilled players of the piano or organ who obtained their training from me by mail. I have far more students than were ever before taught by one man. Investigate by writing for my 64-page 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 Ao'6oa;-rf— learning something about Harmony and The Laws of Music. This is an awful shock to most teachers of the "old school, "who still think that learning piano is solely a problem of "finger 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 COLOROTONE, sweeps away playing difficulties that have troubled students for generations. Bv its use, Transposition—usually a "nightmare" to students — becomes easy and fascinating. With my fifth lesson I introduce another important and exclusive invention. QUINN-DEX. QuinnDex is a simple, handoperated moving picture 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 finger movements from MEMORY-which cannot be always accurate — you have the correct models before you during every minute of practice.
