Today I have a giveaway for you!
A few years ago I read the book “Piano Lessons: Music, Love, & True Adventures” by Noah Adams. In my quest to always minimize “things” in my possession, I was looking over a few books I owned and asking myself whether they were ones I would want to read again and take with me into my future.
This book, while I recall enjoying it, is not one that I necessarily would need to read more than once.
It’s a memoir by Noah Adams, long-time co-host of NPR’s All Things Considered. He writes of his journey with learning to play the piano over the course of a year.
I’m not a big reader of memoirs and biographies, but if you are, I’m sure you will find this book delightful!
Please keep in mind, what I’m giving away is my used copy. It’s paperback with slight wear on the outside and a few highlights throughout.
Rather than just donate it to a bookstore, I thought one of my readers might enjoy it. (It will be mailed within two business days of the giveaway ending via media mail at no cost to you.)
In order to enter this giveaway, please comment on this post and answer the simple question: Do you enjoy memoirs? (Even if you don’t, you can still win! 🙂 )
You can gain an extra entry by visiting the Piano Pantry page on Facebook.
Only those with a U.S. mailing address can win.
The drawing opens at 12:00 am on Tuesday, April 23 and ends at 12:00 am on Tuesday, April 30. The winner will be randomly selected.

I read a lot of biographies and memoirs!
I tend to read fiction, but I’m sure I’d enjoy this book!
Yes I love memoirs. I’m from MN so Laura Ingalls Wilder has always been my favorite. I have the music book that is a collection of music mentioned in her books. So much fun.
I really enjoy memoirs. They’re believable, unlike a lot of fiction.
I could see that! LOL. 🙂
I love reading memoirs!
Totally enjoy reading memoirs! Great way to learn!
I have read few memoirs; but, I listen to NPR’s All Things Considered all the time!!
I have read that book, Amy. It’s actually a wonderful book for adult students. I had one adult student who was so inspired she went to the same adult piano camp from the book. If I win the giveaway, I know another adult student who I’ll give it to. Happy cleaning! 😀
That’s a great idea!
Yes, I do!
It depends on the memoir. If it is about pianists or music – yes
I do read memoirs and also listen to them on audio CD. I always get them from the library instead of buying them new if I can, so I love the idea of recycling your used copy.
I love all types of books….and actually have this one on my list to read!
I would love to win this book. I’m sure it would be interesting and inspiring! Thanks, Amy!
Real people’s stories are better than fiction!
