LESSON 18.
It is true that these are days of specialization, but one must be careful not to miss anything through too narrow a field of endeavor.
Take Music, for instance. You have taken the AUTOMATIC FINGER CONTROL Method to enable you to learn to play some instrument in quicker time than would otherwise have been expected. AUTOMATIC FINGER CONTROL is a specialized course.
Sometimes, musicians forget that there is another instrument or branch of Music save their own. That is where they make a mistake. Every Musician should fit himself to teach. I don’t say that he should teach afterward, but he should understand his instrument so well that he is perfectly capable of teaching it. Indeed, I doubt if one truly knows a thing himself until he is able to teach it to others!
Many of our students make a business of teaching. Whether you are going to teach, or not, you should consider taking up some of the other courses in Music which run right along parallel with what you are doing. The Unit Lesson System for Voice Perfection is something that every Musician should have. It is a very novel method whereby it is possible to get specific benefits from each individual lesson. It is a complete Vocal Course, and also teaches Speech Making, Gesture, Overcoming Nervousness and Stage-Fright, How to develop a winning Personality, etc. Another course that you could take to advantage is the one in sight reading. It would be a constant help. Write for full particulars about enrolling for these.
