- Trombone-side low brass readers moving onto baritone

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 02
Book 2
Second level. Expects a working low-brass embouchure, basic slurs and the keys taught in Book 1.
Detail 03
Band method
Written so baritone, flute, clarinet and the rest can rehearse the same exercise number together.
Detail 04
Baritone part, not euphonium-specific
Same part works on euphonium. The instruments read identically in bass clef.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between BC and TC?
Bass clef reads concert pitch, like trombone. Treble clef reads B-flat transposed, like trumpet. Buy whichever clef the student already reads.
02Can a euphonium player use this?
Yes. Baritone and euphonium read the same bass clef part, so the book works for either instrument.
03Will this work for tuba?
No. Tuba parts sit an octave lower and have their own edition in the series.
04Do I need Book 1 first?
Yes. Book 2 assumes the notes, rhythms and range introduced in Book 1 are already solid.
