The Music Trade Review
piano pupil of wide experience, had evolved a
system whereby the student could learn to play
popular music in a few months. Through Mr.
Shefte's plans and studies all unnecessary exer-
cises are eliminated, so that the student only
learns just those things that are needed in
order to play popular music on the piano.
This, it is said, eliminates 90 per cent of the
ordinary time and exercises used in mastering
the piano.
Before introducing the various publications
issued by Forster and devised and arranged by
Mr. Shefte, it might be well to state that com-
mendatory expressions for the Shefte Method
of teaching popular music have been received
from such leading educators as President Gunn
of the School of Music and Dramatic Art and
music critic for the Chicago Herald & Examiner,
Professor Eames, president of the American So-
ciety of Musicians and member of faculty,
American Conservatory of Music, and Herman
Devries, an eminent vocal teacher.
Among the publications which are part of the
Shefte course now issued by Forster, Music
Publisher, Inc., are volumes of "Rapid Course
in Popular Music and Syncopation for Piano,"
"Scales and Arpeggios," "Keyboard Harmony,"
"Jazz Bass for Piano," "Jazz Breaks," including
tricks, blues, endings, etc., and "Hot Breaks"
i'or piano and "Blue Breaks" for piano.

Chicago Publisher Brings Out Art Shefte
Method of Teaching Popular Type Playing
F. J. A. Forster, of Forster, Music Publisher,
Inc., 218 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, 111.,
has been responsible in past years for a number
of constructive innovations in the music pub-
lishing business. It has been his contention
that the speed of modern life has been the
outstanding reason why early piano pupils were
discouraged. In other words, the modern youth
when contemplating taking up the piano first
thinks "how long will it take." If told that
the usual course of piano study is three or
four years a prospective pupil is often lost.
Mr. Forster discovered that Art Shefte, a

Arthur W. Tams Dies
at Age of Seventy-eight
Arthur W. Tams, founder of the Tains Music
Library, said to be the largest collection of its
kind, died last week at the age of seventy-
eight. He leaves a widow, Catherine N. Tams.
Funeral services took place at his home on
Monday evening of this week in Palisade, N.
J. He was buried in Philadelphia, his birth-
place. Mr. Tams was a musical director, stage
manager and producer. He made his debut as
an opera singer in Philadelphia sixty-three
years ago in "Faust." The Tams Library was
started in a little back room in 1887, at a time
when he was stage manager and comedian of
the Casino Theatre, New York City. The
library grew rapidly until it occupied an acre
of floor space. Besides the Tams collection of
cantatas, oratorios and masses, it includes, since
January, 1925, much material from the M. Wit-
mark & Sons library. It is widely known
throughout the country.
