Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What skill level is this for?
It suits players who already read bass clef and have basic tone control. It is a repertoire book, not a first method book.
02Is the CD backing tracks or demonstration recordings?
It is a play-along CD packaged with the book, intended so you can perform the pieces with accompaniment.
03Can I use this without the CD?
Yes. The printed parts stand alone. The CD adds accompaniment but the music is playable unaccompanied or with a pianist.
04Will this work for baritone or euphonium?
The bass clef parts share trombone range, so a bass clef baritone or euphonium player can read them directly.
