AUBURN – Annie Gill’s piano repertoire is a lot like any other 8-year-old’s: a song from the Harry Potter movies, a little Johann Sebastian Bach, “Chopsticks.”

But unlike most kids her age, Annie has already recorded her second album.

The profits from sales of the album will go to a local elementary school reading program.

“I love reading so much and I want other people to have that joy of reading,” she said.

Annie, a petite home-schooler with a passion for books, math and a boy wizard named Harry, was 6 when she cut her first CD. She wanted to attend music camp in Canada. Her mother wanted to teach her that such luxuries should be earned.

“When I told her I wanted her to raise a little money, I thought she’d ask her grandmother for $25,” said Carla Gill. “Instead, she said How about I make music?'”

Sold to family and friends, that first CD netted Annie about $1,000, more than enough to pay for a week at music camp. She agreed to donate the rest into a partial scholarship for another camper.

“It’s a good feeling to know you’re helping other people,” she said.

Over the years, Annie has collected blankets for the homeless and books for needy children. But this summer, as she sought another way to serve the community, she decided to return to her first love.

This time, all of the profits from her CD would go to a Reading Recovery program at Lake Street Elementary School in Auburn.

Annie recorded her songs, including “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and a Bach minuet, at the Cheshire Moon Studios in Raymond. Her piano teacher had accompanied her when she was 6. Now doing it on her own, the tempo always seemed too slow or too fast or she would hit the wrong key.

“It was so hard,” Annie said.

After three hours in the studio, she came away with 13 songs for a 17-minute CD. She called it “Book Notes.”

Annie had relied on friends and family to buy her first CD. With her second, she added door-to-door sales.

“I said Hi, I’m Annie and I live down the street. I play the piano and I just cut my second CD, so I was wondering if you would like to buy one,” she said.

The sales pitch worked. Within a month, she had sold 100 CDs for $15 each. The profits – $800 – were presented to Lake Street Elementary on Monday.

Teacher Jackie Strong normally gets $200 a year to buy books to help first-graders learn to read, she said.

“This is my winning the lottery,” she said.

Strong plans to note Annie’s gift in each book she buys.

“It will be a lasting donation for the next 20 or 30 years,” the teacher said.
