If already a player, technical and sight-reading difficulties shall disappear, like a dream. Weary mechanical practice is displaced by Sunclear, Fascinating, Original lessons from ordinary music, no freakish methods, BY POST, in your home, making failure impossible and enabling you to read and play at sight any standard musical composition. I have taught 48,000 adult pupils during the past 33 years, more than 2,000 this last twelvemonth and I CAN TEACH YOU ! I would emphasise that I personally teach every pupil I enrol — this is the secret of my success — no student is relegated to a deputy teacher. My class seldom falls below 2,000 pupils. Teaching these is my sole occupation, my Life's work, I have no time for any other. I grade my lessons to suit your individual needs, adding special lessons as requirement arises. Questions arising out of your studies are encouraged. PROOF "l wu n.lw .i ri ao nervoui when 1 went to my mtuic teacher, I hart more confidence In mytelf now ; you explain everything ao rery cletrty. It la better than having to try to remember what the teacher told yon." — K. R. A. 4801ft. Age 37. IS/8/37. "1 am more than delighted with the progreaa I have made. Tour coarse, In my opinion, it absolutely perfect. I never Imagined 1 ahould, or coold, make aucb a aurcaaa of my studies. Pleaee accept my moat tlncere thanka." — L. M. L. A.48660. Age 30. 17/8/37. "i really am doing splendidly. 1 rurprlaed an old friend of mine (an ex-leader of hie own orchestra) by playing a selection from 'Faust' on alght, and kept It going to the finale. Those chord exercises are wonderful ; before, X used to tinker at the piano, afraid to strike the keys firmly In case I made a mistake — now, thanks to your wonderful System, I can play with confidence and power." — W. J. K. A .48913. Age 30. W'H/37. " The Course really Is amazingly good. I was laughed at, at first, for thinking a Correspondence Course could lossibly be any good for a subject like music, but 1 have shown the books to a friend who Is a musician and she thinks they are wonderful. I think your approach to all the difficulties Is so good because It Is psychologically sound, and one feels In reading the hooks and doing the exercises that you are not 1 teaching mustc * to someone, but teaching someone how to learo to play. 1 am so glad to have all this help." U.S. A. 4 8820. Age 30. 23/8/37. " It's good to be able to learn so much In so abort a time, and I appreciate your System very much. 1 have learnt more In this six months than I did in over two years with an ordinary music teacher."— R.
