This, perhaps, is the highest achievement in American musical educational work. TOUCH AND TECHNIC (IN FOUR VOLUMES) By Dr. William Mason Selling at $ 1.00, each volume represents the basis of the artistic and technical success of numerous famous pupils of Dr. Mason and countless disciples. THE SYSTEM REQUIRES NO SPECIAL TRAINING COURSE TO UNDERSTAND. IT IS SELF-EXPLANATORY. Dr. William Mason realized that the finest possible preliminary training needed in combination with his Touch and Technic, and for this reason he was in constant aboration with W. S. B. Mathews in the preparation of the original issue of the ten grades of the STANDARD GRADED COURSE OF STUDIES FOR THE PIANOFORTE Designed to accompany Touch and Technic, although each work may be used independent of the other, These ten interesting, melodious, practical volumes, selling for $1.00 each, have been the backbone of a very large part of the musical educational progress of America. “THE STANDARD GRADED COURSE” IS UNCEASINGLY RE-EDITED, REVISED AND KEPT UP-TO-DATE BY RENOWNED TEACHING EXPERTS, INCLUDING FAMOUS VIRTUOSOS OF THE PIANO IT IS ALWAYS THE LAST WORD IN THE MOST SENSIBLE, PROGRESSIVE TEACHING MATERIAL Kindly let us send you with our compliments our desired for supplerr 24-page "Guide "three THEO.
