YAMAHA GRAND PIANOS| New Conservatory Series In 1887, only twenty years after Japan opened its doors to the Occident, Torakusu Yamaha founded and gave his name to the very first Japanese company to manufacture Western musical instruments. While that year thus marked an historic
occasion for Japan, 1900 saw arnother one: the
to
Yamaha company also began manutacture pianos. Shortly atter,
in 1904, the Yamaha piano won the Grand Prize at the St, Louis World
Exhibition. They made fine pianos
then, but incomparably better ones
today. This is because Yamaha, while
completely dedicated to traditional craftsmanship, has always held that
innovations and progress are an essential part of piano-making. And
now, nearly a century later, today's Yamaha piano is a musical monarch
cherished and revered around the world for its tonal excellence, and played and praised by some of the greatest concert artists of our time.

miracles mean that we have now available to us, casily, and, as it were by right, almost all of the world's repositories of knowledge. Allied to this, and perhaps because of it, there
has been the most awesome develop-
ments in information about music. Musicology has become one of the great growth industries in the arts.
Our perceptions of earlier musics have
broadened enormously. Our familiarity with
the musics of other cultures is far greater than those of previous generations, and, indeed of other centuries.
Today, the serious, tenacious and dedicated student can cause to be delivered to him,

come and read the books, and, in theory, pass the prescribed examinations and attain the
status of a Master within months. But is it any the less astonishing to find that music students today have available to them the plethora of materials and ungraded information largely unavailable to their predecessors? Most systems of learning, of teaching, through the ages, have carefully
screened grades of perception to abide by. Only after a certain body of information has been processed is one allowed to have access
to the next layer. One has to earn one's knowledge, and to earn the next level. Such
levels, strata, have been through the ages carefully judged, eked out, almost parsimoniously, to ration the growing mind with information, with layers of perception, pre-
judged by millenia of teachers, conservative by their very nature. The intuitive teachers, they of the vaulting imagination and perception in relation to individual students, have been rare indeed through history. But they are there in every
