I am reviewing a copy of Pitch Perfect and Persistent through Astra Publishing House , Calkins Creek and Netgalley:
Amy Beach was the first successful female composer in America, this beautifully written and illustrated Children's Book share her story.
Amy Beach always knew she had to make music, even as others tried to hold her back she was fierce and persistent. But she had one big problem Her mother believed it was not proper or suitable for a young lady to draw attention to herself, let alone take on a musical career. Amy was faced with a choice give in or give up.
Amy Beach was not one to give up despite her Mothers wishes and eventually her persistence paid off She demanded to play the piano. Demanded to have a real teacher. Demanded to perform. Luckily for the world! Amy’s persistence paid off. At just sixteen years old, Amy Beach found herself on the stage of Boston’s Music Hall—and the start of a brilliant career. A female composer who paved the way perfectly!
I give Pitch Perfect and Persistent five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
