SIGHT-PLAYING

Lancaster,

July 18th, 1912. I am very pleased to say there are no real difficulties to report.

I am delighted with the progress I have made, particularly since the fourth lesson. The improvement in my reading of solid chords and passages is simply marvellous, and especially I wish to mention the greatly increased quickness and facility of eye and hand. I scarcely ever look at the keyboard, and my fingers seem to fall automatically on the right notes. The improvement in my piano-playing altogether is most

remarkable.

I think your System is wonderful, and so thorough; it seems to solve every difficulty, and in so pleasant and interesting a manner. I shall always be glad I took the lessons, as I am certain that I could never have attained my present proficiency in any other way. Also I feel that by continuing on the same lines, one may receive greater and greater benefits.

I wish to say how very much I have appreciated your kindness and attention shown to me during the whole Course, and your most helpful and encouraging letters and invaluable instructions.

The lessons have fully accomplished the purpose for which I undertook them,-to learn new music more quickly, and to play new and old music at sight.

With many sincere thanks, and wishing you every success in your undertaking, (Signed) C. C. B. Booklet sent free to any pianist.
