In The Music Teacher, a penetrating and richly entertaining
look into the heart and mind of a woman who has failed both
as an artist and as a wife, Barbara Hall, award-winning
creator and writer of such hit television series as Judging
Amy and Joan of Arcadia, tells the story of a violinist who
has accepted the limitations of her talent and looks for
the casual satisfaction of trying to instill her passion
for music in others. She gets more than she bargains for,
however, when a young girl named Hallie enters her life.
For here at last is the real thing: someone with the talent
and potential to be truly great. In her drive to shape this
young girl into the artist the teacher could never be, she
makes one terrible mistake. As a result she is forced to
reevaluate her whole life and come to terms with her
future. Hall has crafted a thoroughly engrossing novel that
examines the pitfalls of failure and holds up a mirror to
the face of a culture that places success and achievement
above all else
