“Nelly Bly” For Ten Hands!
fTVHOSE who spent agonised hours in -®- their early youth trying to play “Nellie Bly,” from the “Child’s Guide to Music,” will be interested to hear that future generatidns of agonised youngsters will have their pain lessened by the presence of companions in sorrow. According to the magazine, ‘‘Popm lar Mechanics,” several children may now be taught to play the piano at the same time on a multiple keyboard arrangement.
As the teacher depresses a key, a small light appears above a corresponding key on the pupil’s board. After a few minutes of practice with the lights, a trial is given without them, from memory. The method is said to have been successful in helping the beginner to become familiar with the piano, and to master both the white and the black keys. The child is also amused by the lights, and much of the drudgery of lessons is eliminated
