Here's a list off music-related books that teachers may be interested in. Quite a few are available in the public library. I confess that I have not read them all - some have been recommended and some have been sitting on my bookshelf for decades waiting to be cracked open. My intent is to write about some of them as blog posts under Musings. Contact me if you would like a printable PDF version.
