For students who are just starting to learn a new instrument, I would start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements method book.

Im a composer and musician, and I love learning and teaching how music works. I graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego in 2018 with a Bachelors in Music composition and have been making and teaching music ever since.
