The number of published books and scores on music is of course immense. I only list the methods, anthologies and theory books that I suggest for beginners and I use at the intermediate levels. I also list a few books dedicated, or somewhat related, to performance
training. These are useful at all levels, although they are more appropriate readings for adults and teenagers.
