A Musical Education for Half-a-crown. 
The above heading will, of course, appear to most people as the height of absurdity; yet the ray al i \ 
absurdity is more apparent than real. It goes without saying that a finished musical education in ; | A Y AA A 
the regular course cannot be had for half-a-crown, or even with several hundred additional half- |} ““ ~~~ ~ = 5 
crowns; but can it be truthfully said that the person with‘a sufficient knowledge of music PIS. | . SE 
accompaniments on the piano or organ, to.all the popular songs of the day, has no musical educa- 
tion ? Sheahie not. A musical education, anitbiont i enable ne to play accompaniments to the and Cco., 
home frequently, gets and gives more pleasure from the modest accomplishment than does many on 
whose education large sums have been expended. 
To the more modest musical education’ the above heading applies. Such an education “Ihe 
Australian Gardener” is now offering its music-loving readers for half-a-crown, believing that it is 
the greatest benefit we can give our subscribers. : ‘ 
This ready-made musical education consists of Pratt’s Chart of 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 is to musie what the multiplication table is to arithmetic, a 
quick method of learning to play the piano or organ without a teacher. . 
With this chart any one can, with but a stall amonnt of practice, become an expert panist. It 
is a complete self instructor, enabling any one to play the piano or organ at_sight. and to play, 
without difficulty, brilliant accompaniments to any song ever written. It is valuable to the advanced 
musician as well as the beginner, embracing nearly evary major and minor chord used in music; and 
is endorsed by teachers and musicians everywhere. 
This chart is the practical result of years.of study by Charles . Pratt, the noted American com- 
poser and musician, whose compositions have world-wide popularity, and a larger sale than those of 
any other American or European composer. 
Believing that the educational value of this Chart cannot be over-estimated, “ The Australian 
Gardener” has arranged with the publishers to supply Pratt’s Chart of Chords (published at 5s.) to 
its readers at the reduced price of 2s. 6d. cach, with 2d. added for postage, and in addition to the 
Chart of Chords the publishers have kindly agreed to send without extra charge a copy of the 
Coronation Musical Folio, containing 48 pages of sheet music, and instrumental by popular com- 
osers. 
d Hvery home that has a piano or organ, especially where there are children, should have Pratt’s 
Chart of Chords. 
‘his offer is made for a short time only, and “The Australian Gardener” readers should ayail 
themselves of it without dela). :
