What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Conductor score

Shows all instrument lines stacked on one page so you can follow the whole ensemble at once.

Detail 02

$39.99 versus $7.99 per part

The score costs more because it contains every instrument's material, not one line.

Detail 03

Foundations for Superior Performance

A band method series. The score is only useful alongside matching student books.

Detail 04

One score per program

Typically a single purchase for the director, then one part book per student.

Detail 05

KJOS

School band and orchestra publisher. Student parts in this series stay easy to reorder year to year.

Know before you order

  3. 03Score size and page count suit a podium stand, not a music stand shelf

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Can a student use the conductor score?

It is not practical. The score shows all parts at once. Students should use the single-instrument book written for their instrument.

02Does the score include the student books?

No. Each student needs their own part book, sold separately at a lower price.

03Why is it $39.99 when parts are $7.99?

The score carries every instrument's material in one volume, so it is far larger than a single part book.

04How many scores do I need?

Usually one for the director. Add copies only if an assistant or student teacher also conducts.
