Beginners Should Use Good Pianos, Any piano is better than mone,-- and old pianos and second -hand pi- anos have their places, but their place ia not under a beginner's fingers, Maybe it is economical for children to learn to ride a bicycle on a second hand bicycle, bub it is not economical to teach a child to phy the piano n a wornout instrument. Children will not injure the best piano, If it is properly cared' for, and they cannot learn best on amy other. The first thing that fhust be culti- vated ip a child's is its ear, its sense of tone. . It must drink in to the full the: beauties of tome and must learn to distinguish one from another, It must know and feel the difference in the smallest gr ons of tome. It should develop a° se of absolute}g and relative pitch. To train a child on a piano the tone of which has become dull and dead, and which is always sliding out of tune, is a serious error.
