When Erin, a classical pianist, experiences the loss of the life she knew, she finds herself dealing with the departure of her own musical expression. Navigating her way through this change, she meets an unconventional piano teacher who gives her new hope for the future. As Elaine gently reacquaints Erin with her instrument, other life changes naturally follow - not just for Erin but for Elaine as well. \u003cem\u003eThe Piano Teacher\u003c\/em\u003e is replete with lessons about moving through grief, friendships, music as a healing art, the temptation of self-deception, compassion, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast of 2 women and 1 man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorothy Dittrich is a playwright, musical director, sound designer, and composer.
