The Speaking Piano

The Speaking Piano is a storybook for primary/elementary age children with related music learning resources. Everyone thinks daydreamy Lily and Jack are too quiet, and they don't join in in "normal" life. But when they start learning piano with Michael the music teacher, everything changes for them.

This book was commissioned by the Goulburn Regional Conservatorium as a resource for the children of the Goulburn region, and a piano commission for Michael Kieran Harvey. The music that Lily and Jack learn is included in this book, with videos and audio voiceover of each page. Many more resources are available through the books' website, which you can access from within the book.
