THIRD LESSON NEXT WEEK COPYRIGHT 1903-4 BY W .SCOTT GROVE, SCR ANTON, PA. SECOND EDITION, COPYRIGHT 1905. INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT SECURED. The second lesson in the simple instruction, for the oiano or organ, takes up the key G and its corresponding key of E minor. It is supposed to give all the fundamental chords used in musical composition. There will be tweleve lessons, each comprising two charts. ; The pupil is expected to learn, these chords so they can be played almost intuitively. This means practice, practice, practice. . This series of simple lessons in music consists of twenty-four charts similar to the two reproduced at the top and bottom of this page. These charts show a complete series of chords in all keys, both major and minor. The method of using the charts, is very simple. ' ' ' '. Fold the paper across the page. half. way between the two charts, and place one of the charts at right angles to the keyboard of your piano or organ, so that ihe smaller letter D at the bottom of ,Jhe chart is : directly over the key D on the keyboard. J"he other spaces on the chart, will then be over the white keys and the black spaces over the black keys. ; Each series of letters on top, middle and'lower section represents a chord, '. . .. . ' . When playing these chords begin at the top section and play the black letter first with the left hand, it being the bass, and afterward the white letters on the same space simultaneously with the right hand, making the rhythm desired. ' 4 ' The nplay the letters onthe middle space in the same manner, followed by those on the bottom space, return to the top space, forming, a complement of chords. c Turn the folded paper frdm right to ieftandi use the other chart, which will then appear right side up in the same way. The small D with a dash above it on the lower space is only to indicate position and should not be played. "v " l r , .' During the week preceding the next lesson the chords shown here should be played over and oyer again until you memorize them and can play them without the charts. Thenyou will be ready for next weeks's lesson. . .-"'.". '''. ' ' Memorize the letters also, so that instinctively hereafter you will recall what letters or keys make up the various chords. Aknowledge of the chords of keys in which music is composed is the foundation stone for future skill in reading musicf fluently. . , Place this chart at right angles to the keyboard of your piano or organ, so that the small letter D on the bottom space of the chart touches the whits will then be over the white keys and the black spaces over the black keys. . . : v When playing chords, commence at top scace and play black letter first and, white letters on same space afterward in: chord, making the rythm desired; then play the middle space followed by the bottom space.
