Recommended Reading List

Many excellent resources listing books on specific flute-related topics already exist.  So, I intend for this resource to be used as a supplement to that reading. Consequently, I have included several books (not necessarily intended for musicians) which provide information about performance anxiety management, injury prevention, and the development of successful career skills.
