SQL query; inner join on 4 tables - mysql

Question

Is this the most efficient way of joining these 4 tables? Also is it possible to only have some rows of each tables selected? I tried changing * to a name of a column but only the columns from studentlist are allowed.
SELECT c.classID, c.instrument, c.grade, u.ID, u.firstname, u.lastname, u.lastsongplayed, u.title
FROM studentlist s
INNER JOIN classlist c ON s.listID = c.classID
INNER JOIN (
SELECT *
FROM users u
INNER JOIN library l ON u.lastsongplayed = l.fileID
)
u ON s.studentID = u.ID
WHERE teacherID =3
ORDER BY classID
LIMIT 0 , 30
Database structure:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `classlist` (
`classID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`teacherID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`instrument` text,
`grade` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`classID`),
KEY `teacherID_2` (`teacherID`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=27 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `studentlist` (
`listID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`studentID` int(11) NOT NULL,
KEY `teacherID` (`studentID`),
KEY `studentID` (`studentID`),
KEY `listID` (`listID`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`email` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
`firstname` text NOT NULL,
`lastname` text NOT NULL,
`sessionID` varchar(60) DEFAULT NULL,
`lastlogin` time DEFAULT NULL,
`registerdate` date NOT NULL,
`isteacher` tinyint(1) DEFAULT NULL,
`isstudent` tinyint(1) DEFAULT NULL,
`iscomposer` tinyint(1) DEFAULT NULL,
`lastsongplayed` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
UNIQUE KEY `ID` (`ID`),
UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`,`sessionID`),
KEY `ID_2` (`ID`),
KEY `ID_3` (`ID`),
KEY `lastsongplayed` (`lastsongplayed`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=63 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `library` (
`fileID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`userID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`uploaddate` datetime NOT NULL,
`title` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
`OrigComposer` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
`composer` varchar(60) NOT NULL,
`genre` varchar(60) DEFAULT NULL,
`year` year(4) DEFAULT NULL,
`arrangement` varchar(60) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`fileID`),
KEY `userID` (`userID`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=77 ;

Is this the most efficient way of joining these 3 tables?
Your JOIN looks correct and you are joining on your keys. So this should be efficient. However, I would encourage you to analyze your query with EXPLAIN to determine additional optimizations.
Is it possible to only have some rows of each tables selected?
Yes. Change * to be the columns from each table you want. I encourage you to explicitly prefix them with the originating table. Depending on the columns you select, this could also make your query more performant.
SELECT studentlist.studentID, users.email FROM ...
