Anxious Annabelle and the Mysterious 88 Keys

About the Book

My book is intended for young children, to encourage them to work hard, find their talent and overcome any fears they might have when trying something new. The story’s heroine is Annabelle, a piano student who is always anxious but who wants to succeed at her piano lessons. The story takes Annabelle through her lessons and her imagination of what she can become when she dreams each night. The story ends at the End of Year Concert where Annabelle is made the Student of the Year after all her amazing efforts. I am a piano teacher and have used these methods to encourage students to succeed in their piano studies. I had in mind to create several more manuscripts using different characters and their journey to overcome adversity.
