When to look elsewhere

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is piano accompaniment included?
Accompaniment is typically sold as a separate book. Check before ordering if your contest requires you to perform with an accompanist.
02What playing level is this?
Book 1 is the entry level — a first or second year alto player who reads music and has a steady tone will be in range.
03Can a tenor sax player use this?
No. It is written for Eb alto. Tenor is in Bb, so the part would sound in the wrong key against an accompaniment.
04Is this the same book as the clarinet version?
No. Same series and level, but each instrument gets its own edition with the part transposed for that horn.
