Piano Lessons


$13.69


In this remarkable memoir, Anna Goldsworthy recalls her first steps towards a life in music, from childhood piano lessons with a local jazz muso to international success as a concert pianist. As she discovers passion and ambition, and confronts doubt and disappointment, she learns about much more than tone and technique. This is a story of the getting of wisdom, tender and bittersweet.With wit and affection, Goldsworthy 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.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: John Popper (born March 29, 1967) is an American musician and songwriter. He is most famous for his role as frontman of rock band Blues Traveler performing harmonica, guitar and vocals. He is widely considered a harmonica virtuoso, and is listed by harmonica manufacturer Hohner as a “Featured Artist”, an accolade reserved for only the best and most successful harmonica players. John Popper was born in Cleveland, Ohio. His father was a Hungarian immigrant who escaped Budapest in the 1950s. Through him, Popper is related to David Popper, a nineteenth-century European cellist. Popper was raised in Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. He attended Davenport Ridge School, Stamford Catholic High School (now Trinity Catholic High School) and Princeton High School (New Jersey). He took lessons on the piano, the cello, and the guitar, but none of those instruments appealed to him and he hated being forced to practice. He originally wanted to become a comedian, finding he could use humor to make friends and avoid bullies, but when he and a friend performed a routine as The Blues Brothers, he found that he enjoyed musical performance. From there, he took up the harmonica. Popper played trumpet in the Princeton High School Studio Jazz Band, and convinced the teacher to let him play harmonica instead, after an in-class solo on the song “She Blinded Me With Science”. He formed several garage bands with friends in Princeton, New Jersey, one of which evolved into Blues Traveler in 1987. After graduating from high school, the group’s members all moved to New York City, where Popper enrolled in The New School for Social Research. Popper att…More:

Excerpt: Earl Kenneth Hines, universally known as Earl “Fatha” Hines, (December 28, 1903 April 22, 1983) was “one of a small number of pianists whose playing shaped the history of jazz”. Earl Hines was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of Duquesne, Pennsylvania. His father was a cornetist and leader of Pittsburgh’s Eureka Brass Band, his stepmother a church organist. Hines at first intended to follow his father’s example and play cornet but “blowing” hurt him behind the ears while the piano didn’t. He took classical piano lessons and played organ in his local Baptist church but also developed an ear for popular show tunes and was able to remember and play songs he heard in theaters. Hines claimed that he was playing piano around Pittsburgh “before the word ‘jazz’ was even invented”. At the age of 17, Hines moved away from home to take a job playing with Lois Deppe

Chapters: Johnny Dodds, Wilbur Sweatman, Adrian Rollini, Mezz Mezzrow, Hal Kemp, Buddy Tate, Don Murray, Benny Waters, Dan Levinson. Excerpt: Adrian Francis Rollini (June 28, 1903 – May 15, 1956) was a multi-instrumentalist best known for his jazz music. He played the bass saxophone, piano, xylophone, and many other instruments. Rollini is also known for introducing the goofus in jazz music. His major recordings included “You’ve Got Everything” (1933) on Banner, “A Thousand Good Nights” (1934) on Vocalion, “Davenport Blues” (1934) on Decca, “Nothing But Notes”, “Tap Room Swing”, “Jitters”, “Riverboat Shuffle” (1934) on Decca, and “Small Fry” (1938) on CBS. Rollini was born June 28, 1903 to Ferdinand Rollini and Adele Augenti Rollini. (Some sources will date 1904, but his brother Arthur, as well as social security records will attest to the earlier date.) He was born in New York and was the eldest of several children. Arthur played tenor saxophone with Benny Goodman from 1934 to 1939, and later with Will Bradley). Growing up in Larchmont, New York, he showed musical ability early on, and began to take piano lessons on a miniature piano, at the age of two. At the age of four, he played a fifteen minute recital at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Among the selections played were Chopin’s Minute Waltz- he was hailed as a child prodigy and was billed as “Professor Adrian Rollini.” Rollini continued with music and by age 14 he was leading his own group composed of neighborhood boys, in which he doubled on piano and xylophone. His interest in music was far greater than his interest in school, and Rollini left high school in his third year. Adrian also cut several piano rolls for the Aeolian company on their Mel-O-Dee label, and the Republic brand in Philadelphia … More:

$8.96


Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: La Palabra (born Rodolfo M. Foster in Caimanera, Cuba) is a well respected bandleader, singer-songwriter, pianist, record producer, and arranger, known for his versatile approach to music, particularly his invention of the Salsa romantica Latin music genre and his signature style of Afro-Cuban-influenced, sensual Latin jazz. La Palabra was born and raised in the small coastal town of Caimanera, Cuba. He loved music from an early age and grew up listening to Cuban artists like Orquesta Aragón, Estrellas Cubanas Orquesta, Pello el Afrokan (Pedro Izquierdo), Tataguini, and Chapotin. He was exposed to all genres of Cuban music — charanga, son, danzón, cha cha chá, bolero, bolero-cha, rumba, sipisón, el mozambique, paca, joropo, changui, mozan-cha, guaguanco, and early Afro-Cuban jazz precursors to salsa. At the age of 11, La Palabra began taking piano lessons from his grandmother and, inspired by Neno Gonzalez’s song “El Café,” was soon writing his own arrangements. After winning an amateur musical competition judged by representatives from the Department of Education, he was invited to attend a state-controlled school of music in Havana. La Palabra’s grandmother turned down the opportunity down out of fear that La Palabra would be unable to leave Fidel Castro’s post-revolutionary Cuba if he became a student at the state music conservatory. The almost constant flow of music, musicians, and tourists to and from the U.S. and Cuba that had taken place since the 1930s and 1940s was quickly halted. A few years later La Palabra’s family successfully obtained their official visas to leave Cuba. He moved to New York City with his sister, aunt, and uncle in 1966. In New York La Palabra entered the music scene by joining the sextet Lalo y La New
