Children's book where the main character (girl I think) is revealed to be blind
They play a musical instrument - piano
From memory book cover has two hands on it
They have a pet dog

Haven't read this book in 18 years when I was at school but want to read it to my students now

Not that one unfortunately. I don't remember many details. I just know you get to the end of the book and it's revealed that the kid is blind
