Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a CD?
No. Audio is accessed online through a code printed in the book, streamable or downloadable.
02Can I start with book 2?
Not recommended. It assumes the fingerings, range and reading from book 1 are already in place.
03Will this work for a different instrument?
No. This edition is written for bassoon. Each instrument in the series has its own book.
04Is a teacher required?
It is written for classroom band use. Bassoon reed handling and embouchure are hard to self-correct.
