The following resources are provided as a launching point for those students interested in expanding their personal study and training. These resources are examples, and personal preferences may vary.
The equipment brands are those used by Point of Contact for private, duet and group training. The literature resources include books and articles which have contributed greatly to my own professional development and personal growth, and are sometimes used as conceptual aids during private training.
Enjoy!
