CLASS PIANO INSTRUCTION Piano in stru ctio n in classes at low cost will be av ailab le th is year u nder the d irection of Golda E. Mumma of H erm iston. Every person in th e world is born w ith some degree of m usical p o ten tia lity , says Miss Mumma. T his in- dow m ent Is a common in h eritan ce. T hus it is th e in h e re n t rig h t of ev ery child, and not th e special p riv ilege of a few, to have th is g ift, to w hatever degree the in dividual pos sesses it, developed and allow ed ex pression in m usical study. For th is reason the study of music hag come to be considered p a rt of the g eneral education of everyone. Moreover, music ca rrie s over into a fte r life as a hobby, recreatio n or vocation more readily perhaps th a n any o th e r su b ject ta u g h t In the schools. The piano is th e only In stru m en t (w ith the exception of th e o rg an and h a-p ) th ro u g h w hich may be expressed all th ree m ajo r elem ents In music,, nam ely, rh y th m , melody and harm ony. I t is by fa r th e m ost popular m usical in stru m e n t of mod ern tim es, and th e most widely used in th e home. It is th e m ost p ractic able of o th e r in stru m e n ts for th e voice. No m a tte r w hat in stru m e n t one may choose, or even voice, one should firs t have a fo undation in piano. C hildren who have learned to play th e piano find th e know ledge gained thereby to be of g reat bene fit in the study of o th e r m usical in stru m e n ts. Most music schools and conservatories req u ire some skill on th e piano as a p relim in ary to vocal study. Even though th e stu d e n t may never reach th e point when he, him self, is a good p ia n ist, he has de veloped an in te llig en t u n d e rsta n d ing and appreciation of good music. Class in stru c tio n is th e most ec onomical way to teach an y subject, Miss Mumma sta te s, and it is prnb- 4bly th e only way In w hich th e in d iv id u al cost may be m ade sm all enough to allow all children th e privilege of piano in stru c tio n . W hile low cost is th e first incentive for piano classes experience has dem on stra te d th a t pupils have freq u en tly accom plished as m uch in class work as In p riv ate study.
