Writing the book

When my son was 7 months old, we moved into a house, For the longest time, all the furniture we had in the dining and living rooms was an old piano pictured in this book.

As my son, Joseph, got older, I taught him and his friends how to play piano by reading the sheet music and by ear. We had recitals where we played music games. Kids loved to get presents too :)

Writing this book in the style of a fantasy was my son's idea.

When he was very young, and could not write yet, I kept the notes of his drawings and fantasies. Many of his dreams, especially the love of trains, went into the Walking On Music Notes.

Many of the pictures of the house we lived in and the park nearby went into this book.

I want this book to be alive, to spark imagination and creativity in others.

I feel, music should be free for anyone to learn.
