"Frances Clark's 'Questions and Answers' in Clavier has been a monthly source of inspiration for piano teachers since its inception. This compilation will serve as a special pedagogy text for both new and experienced teachers." --E.L. Lancaster "With the same morning dash reserved for Ann Landers, it has been ritual for me to open the latest issue of Clavier to the back page first for 'Questions and Answers.' The mail usually arrives minutes before my first student of the day, and it is amazing how often I have found immediate relevance in one of Frances Clark's timely topics." --Suzanne Guy "Those of us who value teaching value the words and thoughts of Frances Clark. She is a continuing inspiration to us and our students." --Tony Caramia
