Hal LeonardEssential Technique for Band - Baritone B.C. 3 Book/Online Audio
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Book 3 of Hal Leonard's Essential Technique for Band, the bass-clef baritone part, with online audio. For students continuing past beginner band method books.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baritone horn students reading bass clef in a school band
- Third-year players moving on from Essential Elements Books 1 and 2
- Practicing at home with recorded accompaniment instead of a director
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-year beginners who have not finished an introductory method
- Baritone players who read treble clef — that is a separate part
- Trombone, tuba, or trumpet players needing their own book

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between B.C. and T.C. baritone?
B.C. is bass clef, T.C. is treble clef. Same instrument, different notation. Buy whichever your band director assigns.
02Can a trombone player use this?
Trombone also reads bass clef in the same range, but this is the baritone part. Get the trombone book for correct fingering and technique material.
03How do I get the audio?
The book includes online audio access. You use the code printed inside to stream or download the accompaniment tracks.
04Do I need Books 1 and 2 first?
This is Book 3, written for students who have already completed earlier levels. Starting here without that background will be difficult.
