A review by juliachandler
Every Good Boy Does Fine: A Love Story, in Music Lessons by Jeremy Denk

emotional informative reflective slow-paced

5.0

Wish more popular classical performers would write books. Loved that the audiobook had musical excerpts in the background. This is aimed more at someone with a background in classical music.

I loved his commentary on the loneliness you feel as a musician, but also the great relationships you can form. A teacher is really a parental figure, and you create an odd kind of family with teachers, colleagues, and your own students. His queerness was just another level on this. I related to so much in this book, and as with any good book on music it made me want to go practice.
