Recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship and a frequent performer at Carnegie Hall, Jeremy Denk is one of America’s foremost pianists. “Every Good Boy Does Fine” follows Denk’s journey from temperamental six-year-old piano prodigy to world-touring, celebrated musician. Denk shares the most meaningful lessons of his life, and tries to repay a debt to his many teachers.“Every Good Boy Does Fine” is a beautifully written, witty exploration of classical music: its power, its meanings, and what it can teach us about ourselves.

I absolutely adored this book and Jeremy himself. I listened to the audiobook and his voice and pace makes it an even more pleasurable experience. I will gift it to my piano teacher this year, who is a wonderful person and as a token of my appreciation to her hard work (and patience) with me.
