Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the right level for a total beginner?
Yes. Book 1 starts from first notes and basic rhythms, so no prior reading or playing experience is needed.
02Will it match what the rest of the band is playing?
Yes, if everyone uses this same series. Each instrument's edition is written so the same page works in rehearsal together.
03Does it cover piccolo?
It is the flute edition. Fingerings carry over to piccolo, but the book is written for flute players.
04Can a parent use this to help at home?
Yes for tracking assignments and checking notes. Tone and embouchure still need a teacher's ear.
