My Secret of Teaching P And Why I Have More Pupils Than Were Ever Before Taught by One Man There Must Be Some Good Reason Why My Students Become Skilled Players of the Piano or Organ in Quarter the Usual Time and at Quarter the Usual Cost—Why They Do This Not Some- times, But Regularly, Consistently, Habitually, Year After Year More than twenty-five years ago I originated the corresponaence method in this country. And although I encountered some prejudice at first, yet every year I enlarged the scope of my work until now many hundreds of persons all over the world are studying with me. Every state in the Union, every province in Canada, contains scores of accom- plished players who obtained their entire training from me— and at much less cost and effort than was usually considered necessary. [ will gladly refer you to any number of my graduates who will soon convince you of the prompt and satisfying results they obtained with me. There seems no reason why you should not benefit the same way, and I certainly urge you to investigate without obligation by writing for my 64-page free booklet, “How to Learn Piano or Organ.” Occasionally I still encounter a man or woman who is hesi- tant about learning by mail and feels that the methods of 50 years ago are “safer.” This feeling is, perhaps, natural enough, but is due to a misunderstanding as to what are the real problems in learning piano. You will learn much more rapidly by my scientific written method than by the old- fashioned “spoken” or oral method, which cannot be made really systematic. My free booklet will fully satisfy your mind in this regard and explain exactly why my method pro- duces such truly surprising results. My Course in Piano or Organ represents the best thought of the present day and makes use of every possible scientific help—many of which are entirely unknown to the average teacher. If you wanted to study with a so-called “prive teacher” by the old-fashioned oral system, and yet could afford only $1 to $5 per lesson, you could obtain only third- rate instruction. No true authority could give you his entire, exclusive attention for so small a fee. Yet, as you know, one lesson with an authority is worth a dozen other lessons. By enrolling with this Conservatory and joining my Personal Instruction Class, your lessons cost less than 43 cents each, as part of the Complete Course. Yet every step you take is under my personal supervision, and in all essential ways, I am in as close touch with you as if I were standing at your side. No matter where you live, I can teach you success- fully. You study in spare time at home. Marcus Lucius Quinn Conservatory of Music Studio JKA, Social Union Building, BOSTON, Mass.
