PLAY PIANO BY EAR

Be a Jazz Music Master

No matter how little you know about music—even though you "have never touched a piano"—if you can just remember a tune, you can quickly learn to play by ear. I have perfected an entirely new and simple system. It shows you so many little tricks that it just comes natural to pick out on the piano any piece you can hum. Beginners and even those who could not learn by the old fashioned method, grasp the Niagara idea readily, and follow through the entire course of twenty lessons quickly. Self-instruction—no teacher required. You learn many new styles of bass, syncopation, blues, fill-ins, breaks and trick endings. It's all so easy—so interesting that you'll be amazed.

No need to devote years in study to learn piano nowadays. Special talent unnecessary. Every lesson is so easy, so fascinating that you just "can't keep your hands off the piano." Give it part of your spare time for 90 days and you will be playing and entertaining almost before you realize it. No tiresome scales, no arpeggios to learn—no do-re-mi—no difficult lessons or meaningless exercises. You learn a bass accompaniment that applies to the songs you play. Once learned, you have the secret for all time—your difficulties are over and

Even talented musicians are amazed at the rapid progress of Niagara School students and can't understand why this method was not thought of years ago. Naturally, the Niagara Method is fully protected by copyrights and cannot be offered by any other school. A special service department gives each pupil individual attention.

One who can sit down at any time without notes or music, reel off the latest jazz and popular song-hits that entertain folks, is always the center of attraction, the life of the party, sought after and invited everywhere. Make yourself the center of attraction—master the piano by spending an hour a day studying the fascinating Niagara Method.

As easily as thousands of others have learned, so you, too, can learn and profit—not only through the pleasure it provides, but also by playing at dances, motion picture houses and other entertainments.

Just spend a part of your spare time with a few easy, fascinating lessons and see how quickly you "catch on" and learn to play. You will he amazed, whether you are a beginner or an advanced student.

Write for interesting, illustrated booklet, "The Niagara Secret"—it describes this wonderful new method of playing piano by ear. This booklet sent FREE.
