Jibbidy F and ACE First Piano Book Vintage 1949 Lela Hoover Ward





Jibbidy-F and A-C-E
A First Piano Book
Lela Hoover Ward
Boston Music Company
1949

Published in 1949, this book is intended to help children learn the piano. Charts at the beginning of this book show that alternate notes, all the way up the keyboard, fall into a pattern. That pattern is GBDF and ACE, the name of this book. Pupils learn to read music easily and accurately when the sequence is recognized and used.

This book is used, with some cover wear, mostly creasing and soiling to back cover. The binding is tight. There is writing on many of the pages, mostly pencil - a few "teacher" notations in ink.

Page 17: The page number is circled, and the date Nov. 19 written above it in ink.
Page 22: The dates Nov. 12 and Nov 19, and the word TRY! written in ink.
Page 27: The page number is circled in ink, and the date Nov. 26 is written in pencil. Also written in pencil:

R.H. D Major Chord Position
L.H. G Major Chord Position

Page 35 has a good deal of penciled notations, "OK", "Once More", "3 Sept. 74" and "27 Aug. 74" which has a line drawn through it. "Evenly and Slowly" (looks like a child's writing), "Once More 10 Sept. 74", "Count Out Loud 1 2 3". The song title is circled in pencil.

Page 36: Page number circled in pencil. Small sticker with picture of Chopin on page. "To here 24 Sept. 74" written in pencil.
Page 37: "1 Oct 74", page number circled, an arrow on page, "To here 1 Oct. 74", all in pencil
Page 38: Page number circled in ink. "Count and keep a steady even beat", some numbers, circles, "To here 24 Oct 74" with other dates lined through, "Stretch" - all in pencil.
Page 39: Another small Chopin sticker. "To here 7 Nov. 74" in pencil.
Page 40: Small Excellent sticker, some penciled lines and music notes. "To here 14 Nov 74" in pencil.
Page 41: Page number circled in ink. Small sticker on page. "Only" in pencil, some penciled lines, "To Here" in pencil.
Page 42: Page number circled in pencil.
Page 45: Silver Star sticker, page number circled in pencil. "Repeat" and "to here only" in pencil.
Inside back cover: In ink: 17 27 38 41 45


Excellent addition to a vintage sheet music collection if the above use can be overlooked.
