The Not-Ready-For-Juilliard Players
Piano majors at a Midwestern community college, Lynnea, Erin, Holly, and Austin form close friendships despite the fact that two of them study piano with the incompetent and predatory Professor Dickson, despised by the other two. Their formal education is laced with music and friendship, success and failure, longing and love, trust, and treachery. When the professor is murdered years later, the friends reunite at the cemetery, meet the detective investigating the case, and finally learn the truth about what happened in the past. The Not-Ready-for-Juilliard Players is a peek into the world of classical music education with a mystery running in the background.
