We try to keep this list as up to date as possible, but when you enroll, Mary will send you an email with the specific books you will need. If you are looking ahead or want additional resources however, these are our choices for curriculum and also some suggestions for beginning instruments and other resources from Amazon. We have hyperlinked them for your ease. Of course, if you have the means and would desire to, shop local! We recommend Music 6000 or Capital City Guitars.
