Testimonials
"Greetings from Boston. I recently learned about your wonderful anthology
series, and purchased Volume 1 on Amazon.com. I have spent many inspiring and
enjoyable hours with this volume. Thank you for your important commitments to
poets, poetry and music, and your own terrific poems! On a personal note, I have
two breast cancer survivors in my family (my aunt Betsy and cousin Teresa),
and was glad to see proceeds from the first volume donated to the American
Cancer Society."
- Alexander L.
"I was so pleased with my copy from Piano Press. It is an exceptionally
attractive little book, with some great pieces. I just had to thank you for the
beautiful work you do. I am ordering two copies of Vol. 2."
- Shari O.
"Thanks very much for your fine publication."
- Charlie R.

"The Art of Music – Vol. 2 is so beautiful. Any music lover would be
delighted to read it."
- Peggy H.
"Since my wife was a music teacher for 20 years, she has many friends in the
field who will want copies."
- Edwin R.
"Thanks again for such a fine job on The Art of Music. I was totally
surprised about the contest and even more surprised that 'Two Sisters' won first
place. As you learned from when we spoke today, that selection has special meaning
for me…I can't tell you how pleased I am that Anita's and my poem will be in
your next collection. I just spoke with Anita's son-in-law, who told me that
their 13-year-old daughter, Mischala, had memorized 'Piano Teacher' and recited
it in her speech class. How is that for synchronicity?"
- Gelia D.
"I'm sorry that it took so long for me to contact you after this fantastic
collection came out. I, and others I showed it to were very impressed."
- Laura C.
"I appreciate being part of your company and would love to be there for the
long term."
- Tom G.
