Book List

These titles can be found at music stores, at Amazon.com, or at sharmusic.com. The supplemental materials are things I recommend on a case-by-case basis. They may be purchased for some extra fun or for alternative recital solo options.

If you have any books on this list that you're no longer using, and you'd like to donate them to other students, let me know. I'm happy to keep a stockpile of free used books!
