The Piano Teacher on Read Local BC

For World Teacher Day, Read Local BC featured the 2022 Governor General’s Literary Award for Drama–winner The Piano Teacher by Dorothy Dittrich in their list of books that demonstrate the power of a great educator.

The Piano Teacher is about loss, love, friendship, and the healing power of music. When Erin, a classical pianist, experiences the loss of the life she knew, she finds herself dealing with the departure of her own musical expression. Navigating her way through this change, she meets an unconventional piano teacher who gives her new hope for the future.
