Anything I can think of for materials is going to be a real challenge for a head-strong student.
I can think of a few books to assign him and tell him to call you with any questions: 1) Gardner Read's Music Notation: A Manual of Modern Practice; 2) Andrew Stiller's Handbook of Instrumentation; 3) Ted Ross's Teach Yourself the Art of Music Engraving and Processing; 4) Kurt Stone's Music Notation in the Twentieth Century 5) George Heussenstam's Norton Manual of Music Notation All of these are available from Nick Carter's http://www.npcimaging.com or you can get Andrew Stiller's book directly from him at: http://pw1.netcom.com/~kallisti/ It is amazing the amount of music theory one learns simply by studying notation. With a "wunderkind" such as Linda has, this mountain of material should humble him a bit and will, if they are read and studied, give Linda some real material with to work with the guy.
