Gordon's extensive personal experience as performer, teacher, educator and writer over 30 years or so is clearly shown ... a refreshingly honest, lucidly written and down-to-earth look at the real art of teaching the piano. I urge all those involved in the game (at whatever level) to read it * Tim Stein, Classical Music *
an immensely readable and practical book written by a perceptive and honest teacher and musician wth a realistic outlook ... this is a straightforward, no-nonsense book reflecting considerable knowledge and experience, and offering a fair degree of motivation and challenge to the reader. It makes a welcome addition not only for the experienced teacher who may be interested to see in print various thoughts, problems and solutions already met, but also for younger teachers and students. * John Gough, Music Matters, Newsletter Issue 29 Spring 1996 *
