Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the audio a download or a CD?
A CD is included with the book. If your computer has no optical drive, use an external one to copy the tracks.
02Can I use this with a Bb trumpet?
Yes. This is the trumpet edition, written for trumpet against the included backing tracks.
03Do I need to read music?
Yes. The trumpet part is standard notation, so this is not a starting point for a total beginner.
04Does it work for flugelhorn or cornet?
The part is written for trumpet, and cornet or flugelhorn players reading the same Bb part can use it.
