The Not-Ready-for-Juilliard Players Eileen P Duggan

Four piano majors at a Midwestern community college music department struggle against a manipulative professor who tries to spin average students into late-blooming Juilliard-bound prodigies.

Lynnéa, Erin, Holly, and Austin form close friendships although two of them study piano with the incompetent and predatory professor, despised by the other two. Their 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 and finally learn the truth about what happened in their past.
