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. T he sp irit of
com radship and riv alry In a class is
a facto r in g e ttin g th ese results.
