As a teacher, I've learned so much from my colleagues and peers, but likely not as much as I've learned from my students.

I use generally use Faber and Faber for piano and the Yamaha method for guitar. However, each student learns differently therefore I like to meet and assess the needs before choosing a course to follow.
