This book, along with the author’s My First Piano Sheet Music, are good resources for kids who want to play the piano. This title introduces music concepts like the Treble and Bass Clefs, types of notes, staffs and more.. There are many songs to practice including Alouette, The Wheels on the Bus and more. Each is tied to the concept of a lesson.
This book is a good resource for little learners. Hopefully, it will make learning to play the piano fun.

Let’s play: My First Piano Sheet Music by Emily Norris
#MyFirstPianoSheetMusic #NetGalley
This is a great title for kids who are learning to play the piano. There are forty simple songs here along with many fun facts. Just a few of the pieces include When the Saints Go Marching In, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Amazing Grace, Bingo, and the Birthday Song. Young students will feel a measure of accomplishment at they successfully play these songs.
I found this to be a nice title for its intended audience. I even want to play.

What will it be: The Second Ending (by Michelle Hoffman)
The Second Ending is a funny and fun read and one that I recommend for when readers are looking for a light and enjoyable novel. The music background definitely added to may enjoyment here. Readers will root for Prudence and Alexei as they turn the pages here.
Both of these pianists showed extraordinary potential. Each then made some decisions that let their more aspirational careers falter. Prudence, a former child prodigy, sold a jingle which did make her rich but…while Alexei is doing cheesy reality TV. Prudence is in her 40s while Alexei is in his twenties. They come together on the TV show. What will happen to them and their lives? Will they find their way back to the lives that they want? Read this very entertaining title to find out. It will be worth it.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.
