Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this bass clef or treble clef?
Bass clef. That's what the (B.C.) means. Trombone in most American band programs reads bass clef, so this is the usual choice.
02What level is this for?
Beginner. It's an introductory method book meant for players early in their first years on the instrument.
03Does it come with a CD or download?
No audio or accompaniment is included. It's a print book of exercises.
04Can a self-taught player use it?
Yes, though a method book alone won't fix embouchure or slide-position habits. A teacher checking in occasionally helps.
