AlfredSound Innovations for Concert Band Book 2 Mallet Percussion Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The mallet percussion part book for Sound Innovations for Concert Band, Book 2. For a percussionist already through Book 1 and playing in a school band.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Percussion students continuing a band class that uses this series
- Second-year players moving up from Book 1
- Band directors ordering matching parts for a full section
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers wanting snare and battery percussion instruction
- Beginners with no prior book or class instruction
- Anyone in a string orchestra rather than concert band
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
Book 2
Picks up where Book 1 stops. Starting here without the first book skips foundational material.
Detail 03
Concert band method
Parts are meant to line up with the rest of the band, so it works best when the group uses this series.
Detail 04
Single-instrument book
You get the mallet part only. Every other chair in the band needs its own copy.
Detail 05
Red cover
Quick way to tell it apart from other books in the series when a stand or locker has several stacked.

- 01No instrument included. You supply the bells, xylophone, or marimba and mallets.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Book 1 first?
Yes, in most cases. This is the second book in the sequence and assumes the material from Book 1.
02Does this work for snare drum?
No. This is the mallet percussion part, written with pitches. Snare and battery players need their own part book.
03Can I use this on my own without a band?
You can practice the part, but it is written to fit alongside other band instruments playing the same material.
04Is this the same as the string orchestra version?
No. That is a separate series for strings. This one is the concert band edition.
