Piano Queens: Women Who Shaped Piano History – Paperback

Learn about 31 women who wrote beautiful piano music and made important contributions to piano literature. Traditionally, children and young musicians have been taught that the greatest composers have been dead white men. Girls who study piano have not had composer role models who look like them to look up to. But did you know that there have been women composing incredible music all throughout music history?

This adorable music history coloring book is a great way to get to know the HERstory of piano literature. Each composer is introduced with a composer bio and a timeline that shows when the composer lived and which other famous composers and musicians were her contemporaries. Interesting facts about the composer are listed, and a piano piece to listen to is recommended. Included right on the sheet is a QR code that takes you directly to a YouTube playlist with the recommended listening piece as well as other works by that composer. Color the composer as you listen!
