Etude Books...
...are a wonderful idea for home challenges or as a supplement to lessons if you feel like your music isn't challenging you enough.
The following are recommended etude books (books full of challenging music just for your instrument) by professionals on your instrument for personal purchase for you to dig deeper into your instruments.
You can sometimes find copies of the music for free due to the copyright being over (IMSLP.com has many of the books for free) or you will need to purchase them from a sheet music store/online location in order to play.
