FOUR EASY LESSONS
Tickling Ivory Keys
Agrees With Pianist
Pianist George Hopkins, who has received considerable note as a
teacher of elementary piano, playing for classes of Eugene business and
professional men as well as serving as professor of piano in the Uni
versity of Oregon music school, has long subscribed to the belief that
“piano playing is fun!’’
And in order to make a large number of others (to whom he will
never be able to give private les
sons) aware of this fact, Mr. Hop
kins has just published the first of
four projected self-help music
books under the general heading
of “Piano Playing for Fun.”
“Fun with Harmonics”
Book one is “Fun with Harmon
ics,” which he has subtitled "A
start ‘from scratch’ for adult be
ginners, with a pack of information
for all music enthusiasts.” To be
published in about a month will be
"Fun With Chords and Tunes,”
the second in the series, while the
concluding pair will appear some
time next year.
Avoiding many technalities fre
quently used in books on elemen
tary piano, Mr. Hopkins in “Fun
with Harmonies” tells the begin
ner in a chatty style just how to
get well acquainted with the key
board. He tells how to form
chords, work the tones into order
relationships, use the pedal, keep
musical tones from becoming
“noise.”
Features Chart
An outstanding feature of the
book is a chord chart, which in
stantly gives the potential pianist
any chord he wishes to find. As
a whole the book is an outstanding
contribution to the library of sim
plified piano playing. And most
important of all it offers to the
beginner that quality rarely found
in early music training—entertain
ment.
“Fun with Harmonics” is avail
able through Mr. Hopkins at the
school of music or at the Co-op.
Directors to Meet
Canard club will house a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
men’s co-ops with their faculty ad-1
viser, Professor S. H. Jameson, and j
President Charles Kruger today.

Miss Mary Moon, winner of last
year’s Vogue’s Prix de Paris for
college senior women, conferred
with coeds here Wednesday.
“You know I can do nothing but
hemstitch. I never did a thing
with fashion until the Vogue con

And then she really did things.
She entered an essay on “The Re

first prize, and before she knew
it, was sitting in Vogue’s office.
From Bryn Mawr
"We used to have the most
wonderful times at Bryn Mawr.
Miss Moon jangled her gold brace
lets. "We’d stay up all night dis
cussing music or literature or just
anything classical.”
Miss Moon has attended schools

their disappearance appeared in
the paper Thursday, and the
pearls were returned Thursday

Eleanor Scott of the Siber

eyes caught upon a string of
pearls that were definitely well
bred.
And then she remembered the

losing them. Wasting no time,
she immediately called her.
The pearls are the add-a-pearl
type and were given to Miss
Keller by her father. They are
worth $200.
