Piano Mastery Talks - Reading Together - Hughes

"Pupils should be made to listen, by means of a special course in tone production, which should go hand in hand with the technical exercises used at the very beginning. Otherwise they imagine they are making music when they place the printed page on the rack, and set the correct keys in motion."
(page 96, Kindle Edition)

"To those who study with me I say, you must try various methods of memorizing; there is no universal way; each must find out by experiment which is most suited to his individual case."
(page 98, Kindle Edition)
