Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need books 1 and 2 first?
This is book 3 in the sequence and builds on the earlier ones. Students usually work through them in order with a director.
02How do I get the audio?
Access is online through the code that comes with the book. You'll need a working internet connection.
03Will this work for mellophone?
It's written as the French horn part. Marching mellophone players typically read from a different part.
04Is this for class or private lessons?
It's a band method book, so it's built around ensemble class use, though students practice from it individually.
