    Promotional artwork for The Piano Teacher by Dorothy Dittrich. A close-up illustration of a grand piano, its lid propped open, with an open sheet of music on the stand and a single red apple resting on the piano's body.

    Drama
    Canadian

    Following a catastrophic family tragedy, concert pianist Erin finds herself unable to play music much less touch a piano.

    Seeking to overcome her pain & loss, Erin solicits the assistance of an unconventional piano teacher, Elaine, who, through heartfelt and empathetic guidance, begins to help Erin see hope for the future.

    This touching drama, seasoned with touches of humour, celebrates friendship, healing and the power of music to transform.
