AlfredAccent on Achievement Book 2 B-Flat Trumpet Book & CD
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Second-level trumpet method book with a play-along CD. For a student who has already finished Book 1 and reads basic notation on B-flat trumpet.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year band students continuing the same series
- Home practice between weekly lessons or band rehearsals
- Players who practice better with audio accompaniment
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who have never played trumpet
- Cornet or flugelhorn players wanting instrument-specific fingering charts
- Anyone without a way to play a CD
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
B-flat trumpet part
Written for the trumpet player only. A clarinet or trombone student needs their own book from the series.
Detail 03
Book and CD
Audio gives you a tempo and a backing part, so practice sounds like playing with a group rather than alone.
Detail 04
Under $12
Consumable-priced. Students often write in it, so plan on buying a fresh copy rather than reselling.
Detail 05
Paperback method format
Stays open on a stand more easily than a hardbound book, but the spine wears with daily use.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Book 1 is a separate purchase — check which level the student finished
- 02No trumpet, mouthpiece, valve oil or stand included
- 03CD playback needs a disc drive or player; rip it once for phone practice
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I start with Book 2 if I've played a little?
Only if you already read notes and rhythms on trumpet. Book 2 assumes the fundamentals from Book 1 are in place.
02Is the CD required?
No. The written material stands on its own. The CD adds accompaniment tracks that make practice more musical and help hold steady tempo.
03Will this work for cornet?
The fingerings and written pitch match B-flat cornet, so a cornet player can read from it.
04Does it include a fingering chart?
Treat this as the lesson material rather than a reference book — check with your band director if you need a separate chart.
