Tips for Buying Books and Materials:

While Amazon is great for quick shipping and is usually a cheap place to buy what you need, you may get a better deal elsewhere.  SHAR Music and lindawest.com are both great places to reliably purchase the best materials available for your instrument.  For buying sheet music, I prefer SHAR Music and sheetmusicplus.com.  Amazon may often have what you need, but double-check their pricing with other websites.  Make sure that the music you purchase matches the Opus number of the piece you were looking for (example: Britten Cello Suite, Op. 72). Additionally, for some sheet music I may recommend a specific publisher, edition, or editor.
