Sitting at the piano is like staring into the gaping jaws of a great white shark. Terrifying. Beautiful. Sensual, even. Will you stand there, frozen? Or run away like a coward? Or will you jump in, head first, all the while trying to punch that shark in the face? I'm Dr. Joel Pierson, author of the new book You Suck at Piano. Have you spent your life searching for a piano method book that mocks you relentlessly and laughs at you from afar? You Suck at Piano does all these things. It also teaches you to play the piano - it just takes a less than traditional approach to doing so. You Suck at Piano makes a great gift for that person who needs just a little musical discouragement in their life. So pick up a few copies and let's make the world a little more ridiculous.

A pianist in lounges and lobbies around the world, Robin Meloy Goldsby tells her warm-hearted stories by linking people she has met with places she has played. Along the way, she connects the humanity of her audiences—princes and paupers, dreamers and doers, moguls, mobsters, wanna-bes, and has-beens—with the quiet soundtrack of her peripatetic, melodic life. Goldsby's autobiographical stories and essays deliver insights into the art and craft of piano playing, the merits of live music, and how the right song at the right moment can add color and depth to a drab, one dimensional world. Music, it turns out, connects us in unpredictable ways.
