A MUSICAL EDUCATION FOR HALF-A-CROWN. The above he -ding •will, of coarse, appear to most people as the height of absurdity ; yet the absurdity is more apparent than real . It goes withont mying that a finished musical education in the regular course cannot be hurt tor half-a-crown, or even with beveial hundred additional half-crowns ; bufc can it If truthlully said that the person with a sufficient knowledge of cusic to play ac, ompaniments on the piano or oi gan, to all the popular songs, of the day, has no musical education ? Assuredly not A musical education suffl( lent to enable one to pay accompaniments to the songs suitg in the home frequently gets and gives more pleasure from the modest accompaniment than doe^ many on whose education large sums have b en ex| ended To thp more modest musical education the above headin<r applies, ciuchan education the 'NZ. Tablet' is now oftering its nmsic-loving readers for haU-a-crown, believing that it is the greatest benefit we can give to our subscubers. This ready-made musical education consists of Pratt's Chart ot Chords for the piano and organ. which is the nearest approach to the ready-made knowledge of music yet attained by science. It is a short cut to harmony,and itis to music what the multiplicati n table is to arithmetic, a quick method of learning to play the p ano or oi gan without a teacher. With this Chart anyone can, with but a small axrouiit of practice, become an expert pianist. It is a coin lete selt-ni'-tructor,enabling anyone to play the piano or o r Ran at bight, and to play without difficulty brJliant accomiamments to any song over written. It is \alnab'u to the advanced musician as well as to the be/innei , unbracing nearly every major and minor chord used m music ; and is endorsed by teachers and musiciana everywhere. This Chart is the practical result of years of study by Charles X Pratt, the noted America]] composer and musician, \\ho c e compositions have worldwide popularity, ana n larg r sale than those of any other American or European composer. Believing thattthe educational valun of this Chart cannot be o cr-estimated, the ' N.Z. Tablet' has arranged with the publishers to supply Pratt's Chart of Chords (publ.shed at ss) to its readers at the reduced pn< c of 2s fid each, with 2d added for postage, and in a Idition to the Chart of Chords, the publishers have kni'lly agreed to send, wthout extra charge, a copy of the Coionat on .usical Folio, contaiug 48 pages of sheet music, vocal and instrumental, by popular com-po-ers Payment to be mado by POO. or Postal Note ; but if stamps are sent 2d extra must be added for exchiuige, in addition to the postage. K\erv homo that has a piano or organ, especially when; there ure cm dren, should have Pratt's Chart of Chords. This offer is made for a short time only and * N Z. Tablet' reades should avuil themselves of it without delay; and, in writing, alwajs mention the ' N.Z, Tablet.' Address : ANGLO AMERICAN PUBLISHING CO., 458 George Street, Sydney, N S.W.
