This vintage book offers the reader a comprehensive, elementary course in learning to play the organ, specially designed for those with absolutely no previous musical training. Written in clear, simple language and full of helpful diagrams, "The Brill System of Organ Instruction" will be of considerable utility to those looking to begin their musical journey with the organ. Contents include: "Rudiments of the Organ", "Note Values", "Drummer Boy", "Question and Answer", "Up the Stairs and Down the Stairs", "Chords", "Cradle Song", "Cradle Song", "3/4 Time", "Inverted Chords", "Home Sweet Home", "Lightly Row", "A Study in Fingering", "Swanee River", "The Skating Song", "A Circle Waltz", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
