Hello Garret, I'm especially interested in the AUDIO section of your list. Introducing piano students to a variety of piano styles might inspire them to continue their lessons by going in a new direction. Like most of us, I was raised on classical standards - DWEM. While we may have been introduced to Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Marcus Roberts and Dr. John along the way, most piano students have not. Let's throw in some vocal work - Mose Allison, Shirley Horn, and David Frishberg. I would suggest an AUDIO section that lists piano music by style. Then find recordings that are still in print featuring solo piano where possible. If transcriptions of recordings are available, so much the better. Good Luck
