I like to mix instructional books with opportunities to learn songs outside of the text books appropriate to the student's interests, style, and skill level.

These books have comprehensive practice exercises, including classical and popular music exercises, and great songs of all levels to learn. The Mel Bay and Alfred music method books are also great for guitar or drums. Read More
