Abstract
I CAN fully endorse Dr. Heaviside's opinions as to the possibilities of the piano-player, and could only wish that there were some reasonable prospect of this instrument being used to save a great portion of the uninteresting drudgery of the usual school music-lesson. At the present time a considerable amount of school time is wasted in attempting to learn an instrument which is so difficult to play that few succeed in obtaining any satisfactory results. This system does not succeed in producing musicians any better than the ordinary school algebra lesson succeeds in producing mathematicians.
