A mate of mine in Africa has deided to start a music school. He needs books to teach his students so can anyone recommend some theory books I can send him?

What kind of things are you thinking about, my friend? Classical theory or Jazz/Rock/Pop? I assume the latter but wanted to be sure? I think this is a great cause and wonder if we could contact publishers for overstocks etc. I assume there is a limited budget?

Chuck Sher's 'Improvisor's Bass Method' is substantially different from other instruction books I've seen, and very good, I think, for the student who's already mastered some of the basics. Instructs for double bass and electric bass: http://www.shermusic.com/new/0961470100.shtml

I think the Jazz/Rock/Pop route would do best. Yes, the budget is pretty limited.
