Detail 02
Enhanced edition
Includes accompaniment discs bound with the book, so a student can practice with backing rather than alone.

Detail 04
Instrument-specific part

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between Enhanced and regular Standard of Excellence?
Enhanced adds accompaniment discs to the same printed method. The music and page layout match the regular edition.
02Can I use this for baritone?
Get the baritone bass clef book instead. The music matches, but the trombone book gives slide positions rather than valve fingerings.
03Is book 1 right for a returning player?
If you have not played in years and want to rebuild from first positions, yes. If you still read fluently, start at book two.
04Does it teach slide positions?
Yes. Book one introduces positions alongside the notes as they appear.
