Girls at the Piano: Autobiography by Australian Virginia Lloyd

Since women's role in music is a topic that quite often crops up these days, we thought it was appropriate to add this new title to our book collection.  The author looks at the importance of the piano in her own life, compares it with her grandmother's experience, and widens it out into a general discussion of girls' experience as pianists and as piano students.

You'll find the book at ML417 L in our music book collection.  (Catalogue entry here, and publisher's book description here.)
