Music Resources
Books I use
Here are the books I regularly use in the first couple of years of lessons. After that books and music choices become even more specific to each student.
​
Year 1:
Faber Level 1 - Performance Book
​
Year 2:
First Book of Scales (under 8)
First Book of Scales (8 and up)
​
Year 3:
IMSLP stands for International Music Score Library Project, a wiki-based source for public domain music scores, recordings, and information about musical works. View and print pdfs of scores and parts. Find all the music you could ever need..... as long as it's written by someone that passed 70 years ago....

Purchasing Music
Looking to purchase music? Here are some trusted sites for music, please consult on appropriate level. Some books say easy but may be labeled as easy for professional pianist!
​
Sheetmusicplus.com - great for purchasing classical music or arrangements for pieces
​
Musicnotes.com - great for arrangements of pop songs or movie music!
​
Amazon.com - I mean it has everything!
Need some extra music theory practice? This is a great website to help gamify music theory. It's riddled with ads but if you can get past that it can be great! Please ask for help to set up the different games, it can be a little convoluted if you aren't sure what to look for.
