Description
by Anna Goldsworthy (Author)
The award-winning, much-loved memoir of renowned author and musician Anna Goldsworthy about her first steps towards a life in music.
Piano Lessons captures the hopes and uncertainties of youth, the fear and exhilaration of performing, and the complex bonds between teacher and student. An unforgettable cast of characters joins her: her family; her friends and rivals; and her teacher, Mrs Sivan, who inspires and challenges her in equal measure, and who transforms what seems an impossible dream into something real and sustaining.
This is a story of the getting of wisdom, tender and bittersweet.
