Summary: An inspirational book covering everything to get you started
Review: This book is very well written. It covers all the questions you have when starting to play an instrument as an adult. It also has motivational quotes and words of wisdom that you will want to read again and again. My piano teacher lent it to me, and I was so impressed I ordered my own copy.

Summary: A breath of fresh musical air
Review: This book returns us to the basic reason why we make music: joy. The author reassures us that, no matter what level you're at, there is much to enjoy in making music. Importantly, she assures us all that it's okay to be an ameteur, semi-pro, or pro because the world needs them all. She also states that music-making is for everyone, not just the musically gifted and talented. This is a wonderfully encouraging book for anyone who is on the path to learning music.
