B.C. — bass clef
Written at concert pitch in bass clef. Directors split baritone players into B.C. and treble-clef parts; the two aren't interchangeable.

When to look elsewhere
- Baritone players reading the treble-clef, B-flat transposed part

- Anyone wanting solo repertoire instead of graded exercises

Detail 02
Book 1

Detail 03
Baritone edition
Written to line up page for page with the other instruments in the series, so the full band rehearses together.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does B.C. mean?
Bass clef. Baritone and euphonium parts come in two forms — bass clef at concert pitch, and treble clef transposed for B-flat. This is the bass-clef edition.
02Will this work for euphonium?
Yes, if the player reads bass clef. Baritone and euphonium share the same bass-clef part in school band methods.
03Can I use this if I read treble clef?
No. The notes are written in bass clef, so a treble-clef reader needs the treble edition of the same book instead.
04Does it match what the rest of my band is using?
Yes, if they're on Accent on Achievement Book 1. Each instrument's edition is laid out to be played together in class.
