Beth Luey is an educator and amateur musician. When her daughter was taking piano lessons, she realized how important music was in her own life, in her daughter's life, and in their relationship. She asked her daughter's teacher, Stella Saperstein, to write a book with her to help other parents guide their children's musical education. Stella was the ideal co-author. A parent herself, she is also a gifted musician-a graduate of the Leningrad Conservatory who is much in demand as a teacher for students from age three to adult. She often speaks to music educators' organizations and participates as a juror in piano competitions. When Beth and Stella wrote the book, they were both living in Phoenix, where Stella still lives-now counting among her students her two grandchildren. Beth has moved to the south coast of Massachusetts. Her daughter, who graduated from Harvard in 2004, lives in Seattle. Music remains an important part of her life.
