Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work for tuba?
It covers E-flat and B-flat bass instruments, so it is aimed at that family of horns. Check that your instrument's pitch matches one of those two.
02Is there an audio recording included?
No. This is printed music with no CD or download.
03Can a beginner start here?
Not really. This is the intermediate book and assumes a player already has basic fingerings, reading and tone under control.
04Are there solos in it?
It is a method book of studies and exercises for building technique, not a collection of performance solos.
