Okay, so what's on that shelf over there. You know, the one with all the music books on it.

Here is what is on mine, categorized. I've excluded grade books, just books and sheets. Is there such a thing as a music book hound? I know I haven't bought anything in a really long time and that's probably a good thing. I've got more here than my fingers and brain can possibly do and stuff that is just so far beyond me.

I'm a beginner and just bought "All about piano" by mark harrison yesterday.
I also own alfred's book 1 which is the primary book I'm focusing on.

Ok This is a good thread.

Books I use daily
Piano classics- the brownish one
Piano Classics 2
Bach 8 little preludes- yes its an organ book
A massive jumbo 3 ring binder of assorted organ music from various composers, that I made, Each page is in a plastic jacket style cover, so page turns are easy, and pages stay clean.

Sheet music-
Schindlers List
Beethovens moonlight sonata 1&3
Lots of other random ones
Led Zep Stairway to heaven

Modern books-

I also have a small stash of downloaded and photocopied stuff, some of it is classical, some of it is chord sheets for songs I haven't found the songbooks for yet. My biggest pile of stuff though is the songbooks. Even as I type I'm thinking of the next one on my wishlist...I'll probably have to join some whatever many step anonymous support group...

I have " Free to be Creative at the Piano " by Edward Weiss on my bookshelf. Man, that guy can write!

Little Blue Engine - I WANT YOUR COLLECTION! great taste in music buddy, please tell me you've attempted "the fool on the hill" - the beatles, magical mystery tour. It's a song I'm working on now and it's awesome

I haven't tried "Fool On The Hill" yet, I just got both of the Beatles books within the last 6 weeks or so. I've done "Martha My Dear" and I'm working on "Two Of Us" right now.

There's no such thing as too music as far as I'm concerned. I've run out of room in my bookshelf and am having a new, larger one built by my favorite carpenter.
