SHEPARDPrice, $1.00 netMr. Shepard’ s b ook is sim plicity its e lf; and in that simplicity lies its strength. W ithout discouraging and wearying the be­ginner with a formidable array of five-finger exercises and scales, cov erin g page after page with wearisome m onotony, he com ­mences with the easiest rudimentary exercises, every note, sign, and step being thoroughly exp la in ed ; and after only nine exer­cises, gives a little m elody em bodying in the simplest style the technical results so far achieved.AUG. SPANUTHi Preparatory Piano TechnicsA COURSE OF FUNDAMENTAL EXERCISES FOR THE PIANIST’S DAILY USEFlex. Cloth, net, $1.25r This collection of exercises is in accord with the peculiarities of m odern technique. It appeals to the brain as well as to the fingers o f the student. A highly important point is the attention paid to the cultivation of the pupil’s harmonic sense.Part I deals with a variety o f five-finger exercises. Every fin­ger is subjected to an exhaustive drilling, and all manners of touch are em ployed. In Part II the scales are considered. Double notes also com e in for careful treatment. Part III is devoted to Chords, A rpeggios, Extensions, and Trills.Any of the above will be sent for examinationSend for a F R E E C O P Y of an Essay just publishedA STUDY OF PIANO STUDIESWe solicit Correspondence on all matters MusicalN E W W O R K SPUBLISHED BYThe J ohn Church CompanyCINCINNATI, C H ICA G O .
