The Music Teacher by Barbara Hall

1.0

Not impressed. The first chapter was promising, but then the character takes on a condescending attitude about those who play music. It compares those who are naturally gifted at music and those who are not. The teacher is bitter, who finds a new purpose through her new violin student's ability, and then the student jerks her around- not my kind of story. Most people don't appreciate being talked down to, but this book manages to give the reader that notion the entire way through. Although, to the author's credit, there were passages in the book that were beautifully written, so I would give it a 1/10 or a (.5)/5 stars, whichever you are more comfortable with.
