}}Piano Lessons is a 2009 award-winning[1] non-fiction book by Australian classical pianist Anna Goldsworthy, artist in residence of Janet Clarke Hall[2] and artistic director of the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival.[3]

In Piano Lessons, Goldsworthy documents her piano study from a young age under the Russian emigre Eleonora Sivan.[4]

Originally published in Australia in October 2009 by Black Inc., the US rights were sold to American publisher St. Martin's Press[5]

The film rights to the book have been sold to director Ana Kokkinos.[6]

Synopsis

Goldsworthy was nine years old when she met Eleonora Sivan, a charismatic Russian émigré and world-class pianist who became her piano teacher. Piano Lessons documents what Sivan brought to Goldsworthy's lessons: a love of music, a respect for life, a generous spirit and the courage to embrace a musical life.

Critical reception

The US Poet Laureate, Philip Levine, said of Piano Lessons, "I have never read a better depiction of a great mentor and of how true learning takes place. Every teacher of anything should read this book. Twice."{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}

The book was received positively by Australian critics.[7]

The Australian Literary Review called Piano Lessons a "wonderful story, elegantly told",[8] broadsheet The Age said that it was "multi-layered, rich with meditations on identity, creativity, ambition and achievement; deeply felt without a hint of sentimentality. This impressive debut will surely mark Anna Goldsworthy's arrival as an Australian writer to be reckoned with."[9]

Awards

Piano Lessons was shortlisted for a number of awards including best non-fiction at the NSW Premier's Literary Awards as well as best non-fiction at the 2010 Australian Book Industry Awards. Goldsworthy won Newcomer of the Year at the 2010 Australian Book Industry Awards.
