Nora, The Piano Cat

    


This is not a trick taught to Nora. She began sitting at the piano at about one-year-old. She's almost four now. She plays only when the mood strikes her, which is usually several times a day for short periods.





You saw her first in the popular videos "Nora: Practice Makes Purr-Fect" and "Nora: The Sequel." Then came the 2008 calendar "The Tao of Nora." Now experience her wit and wisdom in the new book "Nora The Piano Cat's Guide To Becoming A Good Musician." This book is the first in a series of books based on the unique teaching philosophy of Betsy Alexander and told through the character of Nora The Piano Cat.
Chapter titles:
1) Picking an Instrument.
2) The Importance of Developing Your Ear.
3) Music is a Sport.
4) How Much You Need to Practice.
5) The Importance of Patience.
6) How Playing a Musical Instrument Makes You Super Smart.
7) The Importance of Being Kind to Yourself.
8) Rewarding Yourself for Your Hard Work.
9) How to be Your Own Personal Best Musician.
10) Nora's Best-Kept Secret.
11) Nora's Philosophy.
