When they go inside his house, there are many statues of knights. The First one was Howie. Lance taught Howie how to play better. Eddie saw many knights in the dining room. They were all seated as if they are strapped in the chair. After the piano lessons Eddie taught Lance was a knight. The next day, It was Melody's turn to play the piano. While Melody was learning piano Lance offered Liza a hot chocolate but she said "no thanks" because she does not know piano yet. When Liza's turn came she played bad notes but Lance did not seem to be worried. After that Eddie decided that he will prove Lance is a knight. When they bring Howie's Toy car.

You should read this book if you play the piano!

Knights Don't Teach Piano, by Debbie Dodey and Marcia Thornton Jones is from a series, "The Bailey School Kids" series. My favorite character is Liza because she is very nice. Eddie thinks he is the best at everything but he is not. There is Melody,who is really bossy, and Howie,who is really good at science. If you read this book, it will be the best!

Another interesting story in this neat series.

It was a great book. Eddie's grandmother has him take piano lessons from a strange man, Lance E. Lott. The place where he takes piano lessons even looks like a castle complete with a round table. Could Mr. Lott really be a knight in shining armor? The Bailey School Kids are going to find out. I enjoyed this book because it was funny and interesting. This story comes complete with sword fights and jousting matches. Maybe Eddie should have taken flute lessons instead. If you want to find out why you will just have to read the book.Ryan, age 8

Extra, Extra... A Terrific Book!

I read Knight's Don't Teach Piano Lessons by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones. Knight's Don't Teach Piano Lessons is a very good book. It's about four kids who start to take piano lessons. Their teacher's name is Lance A. Lot. The four kids names are Meloby, Liza, Howie, and Eddie. I liked it because they always find something to find out, and they always have some spying to do.They are funny books. They are like detectives. I recommend this book to peole who kind of like mysteries, ages 8 to 12. There are 30 (including Knight's Don't Teach Piano.)
