Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is horn in F the same as French horn?
Yes. French horn is standardly pitched in F, and this book is written for that transposition. Double horns in F/B-flat read F parts too.
02Can a mellophone player use this?
Mellophones are usually pitched in F but marching parts differ. Check with your director before substituting this book.
03Is this a complete beginner method?
It is a supplementary technic book meant to run alongside a main band method, adding drill material rather than teaching from scratch.
04Does it come with audio tracks?
No. This is a printed part book with no accompanying audio or backing tracks.
