A new laugh out loud book by the Piano Girl!
If you read her first book, you already know you need this one.
If you haven't, you should read them both. Caution, known to cause uncontrollable laughter!
Piano Lessons by Anna Goldsworthy.
Very interesting (and well written) look into her experiences as she went from beginner to concert pianist.
Although many things came relatively easy to her (she breezed through academics), she quickly learned there
is a lot more to playing piano at the top levels than merely being able to play the notes.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes the piano, particularly if you ever aspired to be a concert pianist :-)
Our own member, concert pianist Jeffrey Biegel recently released not one, but two new CDs.
We were at the Millennium Fantasy concert live last year when this CD was being recorded. Loved the entire concert, what a fantastic job everyone did! I have the CD now and play it frequently. I'm still waiting for my copies of the Bach to arrive any day now, but I do know it's been receiving glowing revues.
