April 26, 1919 My Success In Teaching Piano By Correspondence Surprised Many People HEN I started 25 years ago, there were plenty who called my method “impossible.” And they were sincere in their opinion—I don’t deny that. Yet every year I obtained more students, until today many hundreds of men and women are studying with me in all quar- ters of the globe. Every state of the Union contains scores of accomplished players of piano or organ who obtained their entire g from me by mail, and at quarter the usual cost and effort. any number of my graduates who will soon convince you of the surprising results they obtained by my scientific method.

Nothing is forgotten nor needlessly repeated. You obtain as much of my time as you really need and every minute of it is devoted to your real guidance and not to routine instructions.

It enables you, in your third lesson, to play an interesting piece not only in the original key, but in all other keys as well. This one fact saves you months of valuable time The COLOROTONE is patented and cannot be used by any other teacher or conservatory. Finger Action Shown by Moving Pictures With my fifth lesson I send you another important and exclusive invention, QUINN- DEX, a mechanical “movie.” It shows you every movement of my wrists, hands and fingers at the keyboard. You see the fingers move, as clearly as if thrown on the moving picture screen. You do not have to reproduce your teacher's finger movements from your MEMORY—which naturally cannot be always accurate. Instead, you have the correct models right before your eyes during every minute of pract You follow them minutely and exactly without any chance of error or misunderstanding. Without Quinn- dex much of your time (and your teacher’s time) would be devoted to correcting bad habits acquired through faulty practice. This discourages more students and wastes more time than any other single factor. Quinn-dex does away withit entirely. You cannot obtain anything like Quinn-dex except from me. Moving pictures have never before been applied to piano instruc- tion. Quinn-dex is operated easily and simply by hand can successfully use it. It contains over 600 separate pictures, Quinn- dex is fully explained in my free booklet “How To Learn Piano or Organ.” Write today Lessons 43 cents each The old way of studying with a so-called “private” teacher by the oral or spoken method possesses many obvious disadvantages. If you want a teacher “all to yourself” and yet can afford only $1 to $3 a lesson you naturally cannot expect the highest grade of instruction. To obtain the entire exclusive attention of a real authority for so small a fee would usu- ally be impossible. Furthermore, by the old-fashioned oral method, at least half your “private teacher’s” time is absolutely thrown away in giving you routine instructions about clef signs, measure bars, sharps, flats, the value of notes and rests, etc., etc., which are necessarily the same for Piano | FREE BOOK COUPON 1 QUINN, CONSERVATORY, Studio JDA comicbooks.com
