Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a complete beginner?
No. This is the intermediate book in the series and assumes a student already reads bass clef and knows the basic fingerings.
02Does it come with a CD or downloads?
No. It is printed music only, with no audio.
03Can a tuba or trombone player use it?
It is the bassoon edition, so the fingering charts and range are bassoon-specific. Other bass-clef instruments should get their own edition.
04Is this a solo book?
It is a method book of studies and exercises rather than performance solos, aimed at building technique in lessons or band class.
