any other solution except join? - H4Host.com

Hi everyone, I’m beginner and doing my first steps so I have this DB

I need to get customers by genre and the only thing that came out is join but it’s too big and I think in a big DB it will be totally ineffective

select main.customers.LastName, g.Name from customers left join invoices i on customers.CustomerId = i.CustomerId left join invoice_items ii on i.InvoiceId = ii.InvoiceId left join tracks t on ii.TrackId = t.TrackId left join genres g on t.GenreId = g.GenreId group by g.Name;

So is it possible to write this query more elegant way without join or it’a common practice and the only way?
