"Teaching My Children Music
(A Letter from an Ohio
Lawyer)
"We bought our Marque Ampico to give our three children an education in music, and it is accomplishing this
purpose. They get their education with pleasure and with perfect results, instead of depending on their un-
guided musical instincts. To be frank, I doubted whether my children had any marked musical talent, at least
to the extent of making them musicians; but with the Marque Ampico reproductions of great classics, interpreted
by master pianists, to serve them as models they are getting the best possible education and have amazed me
by their progress.
"The instrument is proving a great pleasure, not only to my family, but also to those friends whom we are pleased
to have enjoy it with us."
MUSICAL atmosphere in the home is of inestimable value. Its influence reaches every mem-
ber of the family and it is of special value in its influence on children. There is something-
exquisite and touching in a child's interest in music. The first notes, perhaps just a phrase from
some song familiar in the home, may mean much in the future of the little one. The child who
sings spontaneously should be allowed to grow in a musical atmosphere. IIis natural musical
nature should be guided and encouraged to a knowledge and appreciation of the best in music.
1 bringing with it the playing of great artists, the Marque Ampico serves as an incentive and guide
to the achievement of such a mastery of music as these pianists display. This is apart from the
value of the Marque Ampico merely as a means of entertaining and interesting children and ac-
quiring the love and knowledge of music that has such a broadening influence on character.
For the Dealer, the Marque Ampico opens a field of business of the. highest
quality and of wide scope. Adaptable where electrical current may not be
obtained, it appeals to a buying class that wish the finest things of to-day for
their homes.
