of music teachers of the State with appro-
priate remarks regarding the necessity of
having children trained in piano playing.
The attention given to the teachers by the
newspaper aroused wide interest, as did the
many columns of editorial comment on the
contest both before and after the event. The
•various music houses in Colorado for most
part tied up closely with the contest in the
belief that it will lead to a more general
appreciation of piano playing and conse-
quently to more sales of instruments.
What has been done in Colorado is per-
fectly feasible in every other State in the
country and is particularly adaptable to par-
ticular cities and the surrounding areas. In
fact h number of successful dealers including
Watkin of Dallas, Philpett of Florida and
Shackleton in Louisville have made a prac-
tice for years of co-operating with and assist-
ing piano teachers wherever possible.

HE piano came to the fore strongly in
Denver, Colo., early last month when
there was staged at the East Denver
High School the Greater Colorado Piano
Playing Contest which occupied the full week
from March 30 to April 4 and drew a large
crowd of contestants from all sections of the
State.
The contest was sponsored by the Colo-
rado State Music Teachers' Association; the
Colorado Federation of Music Clubs, and
the Rocky Mountain News of Denver, the
newspaper being particularly generous in
volume and character of the publicity. A
week preceding the contest date a double-
page spread in the rotogravure section of
the paper was given over to portraits of 118
leading teachers of piano throughout the
State surrounding a view of the East Denver
High School, where the contest was held. In
addition a full page in the regular section of
the paper was given over to a directory

It is admitted that there are no
better teachers of piano anywhere
than here in Colorado. A recent
survey disclosed that the cost of
piano instruction in Colorado is
less than the prevailing average
elsewhere in the country.

newspaper were enlisted and this also is pos-
sible in other localities not alone because the
piano contest represents a live feature to pre-
sent to readers, but because the advertising
of teachers and music merchants, properly en-
couraged, adds materially to the newspaper
revenue.
With the broadcasting of piano lessons
now in full swing the time is particularly
opportune for dealers to co-operate with
teachers in bringing the value of piano in-
struction to the fore. The radio impulse sim-
ply arouses a general interest in personal
playing and it is up to the local enthusiasts
to develop that interest to a point where
piano owners and prospective buyers will
continue their instruction to a point where
they become efficient. The piano contest idea
fits in well with this plan because it affords
an incentive for improved playing and at
the same time enables students to compete
with those of equal experience.
