I've read some books by Paul Harris and Joan Last but I don't really know what else to go for - the suggested reading list in the syllabus is quite long and as I buy online it's hard to know whether I'm ordering the right thing or not. What would you recommend for a relatively inexperienced piano teacher? Many thanks Sioni.
