Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a tenor trombone?
Partially. The low-range and valve material needs a bass horn or a trigger-equipped tenor. Basic sections transfer fine.
02Do I need to already play trombone?
It works as a first method, but going in with tenor trombone experience makes the slide positions much easier.
03Is there audio included?
No. It is a printed method book with no recordings or downloadable content.
04What size book is this?
Standard sheet music format, so it sits on a music stand without folding or clipping.
