Musical Inventions: DIY Instruments to Toot, Tap, Crank, Strum, Pluck, and Switch On

Practising the Piano

From the dust jacket notes: "This book is the fruit of a lifetime of experience as a teacher and it has grown out of the advice which Mr. Merrick has been in the habit of giving to his pupils. Although no text-book can ever be a substitute for the presence of an inspiring teacher, this particular book is distinctively personal.

For Leschetizky, Merrick's master, learnt from Czerny, who in turn learnt from Beethoven."
