Music of the Heart

The Roberta Guaspari Story

This memoir follows Roberta Guaspari as she rebuilds her life in East Harlem after divorce and establishes a violin program for local children. Beginning with a small group of students and instruments, she develops a music-education program that faces funding, institutional, and personal obstacles. The book recounts her work as a teacher and the program's growth into a widely recognized community effort.
