AlfredSound Innovations for Concert Band Book 1 Conductor's Score
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The conductor's score for Sound Innovations for Concert Band Book 1. For the person on the podium, not for students.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Band directors running a first-year concert band class
- Student teachers or subs covering a beginning band
- Private teachers who want the full picture behind a student part
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Students — they need the cheap part book for their instrument
- Anyone whose band is past first-year material
- String orchestra programs; that is a separate series
What matters in use

Detail 02

Detail 04
$89.99 versus $11.99 parts
You buy one score for the room; each student buys their own part book.

Sized and laid out for a music stand on the podium, not for a student folder.
Final check
Know before you order

- 02Verify your program is on Book 1 before ordering
- 03One copy per director is normal; there is no need to buy multiples
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do students need this book?
No. Students buy the part book for their own instrument. This is the director's copy.
02Why is it so much more than the student books?
It contains every instrument's part on the page instead of one, and a program buys one copy rather than thirty.
03Does this work with the string orchestra books?
No. This is the concert band score. The string orchestra series has its own conductor's edition.
04Is it for first-year band?
Yes. Book 1 is the beginning level of the series.
