Nina Chamberlin, Piano Piano

Nina Chamberlin-


This book is a humorous story of a boy who strongly dislikes playing the piano, even though his mother insists he practices. The boy’s grandpa introduces him to new experiences outside of the piano, and he ultimately decides that he wants to pick up the tuba. Now, the boy loves practicing because he is passionate about the tuba. Lots of kids end up taking piano lessons much earlier before they are allowed to pick an instrument of their own, so many students can relate to this young boy’s struggles. A perfect takeaway from this book is that just because a student dislikes what they are currently doing, it does not mean that they hate music, or the broader version of what they feel forced to do. The little boy was a musician in his heart, after all! He just needed to find the kind of music that best suited him!
