Description

Susan Tomes reflects on her experience as a learner and performer to share insights into teaching music. From putting a drum in a child's hands to helping an accomplished musician unlock the meaning and spirit of classical pieces, she explores fundamental issues that arise at every stage.

In this wide-ranging book, Susan Tomes argues that music can play a unique role in personal development, drawing on her own performing career and discussions with students. She shares tips and anecdotes from her masterclasses, revealing how music can be brought alive and communicated.

A passionate contribution to the ongoing debate about the place of music in education, Speaking the Piano is a lovely, wise, and elegantly written book that conveys the author's deep love for music and its ability to inspire, touch, and change lives.
