The Dunning System of Music Study Improved System of Music Study The Dunning Systém is an improved method of music study. It is the best exposition of the first principles of piano music and is adapted .ml only to the teaching of children and be- ginners, but to all who wish a thorough knowledge of the foun- dation of music.

It is instructive. It teaches correct fundamental principles. It is economical It makes practice a pleasure. It is a system that teaches a child to think in music and thoroughly understand the most important points before mak- ing an attempt to play on an instrument. It cultivates individuality and spontaneity. It trains the ear so thoroughly that a child is enabled to The lessons are adapted to both advanced pupils and be- ginners. No grotesque names are associated with plain musical terms. All songs and stories are cultured and refined. The games are like X-rays thrown on the keyboard. The child’s natura! love of play is utilized while he is unconsciously receiving intelligent ideas. Thus the Froebel idea of making work play and play réal study proves itself of the greatest value in the child's first year of music study. Seme of the Methods Used Formed into classes, the pupils are taugh. by means of sym- bols—discs, rhythm sticks, and movable musical characters—the fundamental principles of music. An ingeniously constructed keyboard with grand staff attach- ed, simplifies notation by uniting these two important factors. Interesting games make otherwise tedious drills subjects of Stories and songs are given to stimulate ideas and cultivate musical intelligence. The ear is acquainted with musical tones by oral exercises. Sight reading forms a part of every lesson, although presented in a number of different ways. Mental drills are employed to awaken musical thought. The muscles of the fingers, wrists and arms are developed and strengthened by finger gymnasties and table technique, per- formed to the rhythm of delightful little songs. Musical principles are taught from memory verses which are easily retained. The sense of rhythm is stimulated and developed by rhythmic exercises and Songs. Written work teaches the student that music is a language, they must learn to write as well as interpret. Real piano work illustrates the principles taught by games and exercises. Pictures and verses give an intimate knowledge of the great composers and cultivate a taste for their compositions. The period of the first few lessons in music is a crisis in a child’s life. The Dunning System of Improved Music Study presents each difficulty in turn in such an easy and instructive manner that the child of six or seven can grasp and comprehend its diffi- culties with but little mental effort, and can, at the age of ten, ain a certain degree of proficiency. It is bétter to employ means which will inspire and not dis- courage; will interest, not weary; means by which beginners will become intelligent, wise little musicians from the start and love that art which has no peer—Musiec. The Dunning System Is Endorsed by the World's Rencwned Masters. Vienna, Deecmber 29, 1904. Carre L. Dunning’s method seems to me most practical, and I recommend it for the first musical instruction of children or be- ginners. It ought to meet with favor and success wherever the beginning of a musical edugation is contemplated. (Signed) PROF. 'I'HEO‘DOR-! LESCHETIZKY. Mrs. Carre L.

I greatly enjoyed yaur lucid and lntelflgent delineation of the Dunning System' of Music Study for Beginners, with the unique apparatus used, which must be as intéresting and instructive to old pupils as to childrén. I was deeply impressed withi its adap- tability to the vocal teachers'. needs as well as to the instru- mental, and I believe that its-general use would rervorlutionize the study of musie for the masses and give th broad intel- lectual foundation which is: usually lacking.. This system cer- tainly fills a longfelt want in ¢ar training, sight reading, trans- position and memory work, and I reecommend it to every pro- gressive, conscientious teacher, both il and instrumental. mem- GADSKI TAUSCHER.

Sit down,” soothed John Waye, coolly. The Dcctor did so, his face less inscrutable than usual. He licked his lips, and appeared to swallow something. “No.” John Waye glanced at each member of his audience in turn. “No,” he said. “I shan't give .| myself up. . . .

Aren't you going jto do something?” | “Not a thing . . . What would you do in my place, Doctor?” l The Doctor picked up his heavy should ebony ruler in both hands, and that it neither bent or broke seemed incredible. } “Look here,” he said in a low and menacing tone, as he pointed (it straight at the face of John Waye “I'll tell you what I'd do, and T'll tell you what you're going ,to do, unless you're lower than & snaKe's belly . . .
