Hal LeonardEssential Elements for Band - French Horn 2 Book/Online Audio
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Book two of the Essential Elements band method for French horn, with online audio. For students continuing after the first book in a school program.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year band students continuing the same method
- Practicing at home with the online audio tracks
- Following along with a school band curriculum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners — start with book one instead
- Players of other instruments; each part is instrument-specific
- Self-teaching adults wanting a standalone tutor
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
Online audio
Accompaniment and demo tracks streamed or downloaded via a code, so no CD player is needed.
Detail 03
French horn part
Written in the horn's transposed key with horn-specific range and fingerings; parts are not interchangeable.
Detail 04
12 x 9 inch format
Standard band-folder size, so it fits a music stand and a school folio without folding.
Detail 05
Band method design
Written so a full ensemble plays the same page together, which is why it works better with a group.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need book one first?
Yes, in most cases. Book two assumes the reading skills, range and technique built in book one.
02How do I get the audio?
The book includes an access code for the online audio, which you stream or download rather than play from a disc.
03Can I use this on my own without a band?
You can practice with the audio tracks, but the exercises are written for ensemble use and work best alongside a class or teacher.
04Will a different instrument's book work?
No. Each instrument has its own edition with the correct transposition, range and fingerings. You need the French horn version.
