RIP Noah Adams
-
NPR’s Noah Adams has passed away. I never regularly listened to All Things Considered, so I only learned of him because of his book Piano Lessons, I think my mother sent me the book IIRC. I was living in Japan and started learning piano in 1999, I think I got the book the next year. (although maybe I learned of the book from PW? I don’t recall now)
I remember really loving the book, and having a book about another adult learning piano meant a lot to me at the time. Maybe I’ll read it again. Or listen to it, presumably there’s an audio version now. I wonder if he’s the narrator, that would be nice!
RIP Noah.

Nope, no audio book version. Too bad
