“My kids are really eating up your bananas!
I think your book is brilliant.”
-Dr. John Orlando, artistic director, Distinguished Artists Concert Series and retired piano faculty, Cabrillo College, CA
“It is a pleasure to teach a beginning book of childrens’ piano pieces that have musical beauty, an unusual approach to reading, and a charming story line in a framework of technical development”
-Carla Levy, retired performing arts teacher, La Guardia High School of the Arts, NYC
“This book is out of this world!! So beautifully illustrated, and so well thought out. It is charming and engaging with a wonderful story. It’s such a perfect place to begin..or continue. I started lessons with Alison three years ago, and I can testify that not only is she a warm and devoted teacher-she also has made it possible through her teaching of the Taubman technique, for me to play with arthritic hands. Indeed, my hands always feel better after I play!
This book is like no other-you will feel refreshed and eager to learn the minute you see this book! “
-Cynthia Crawford, Musician, Artist and creator of Creature Kinships, VT
My seven-year old son asks to practice from the Banana Book. It motivates him and he can’t wait to see what happens next in the story! It has also inspired him to compose and paint pictures for his own piano book.
