KJOSStandard Of Excellence Book 2 Clarinet
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The clarinet part-book for the second year of the Standard of Excellence band method. For a student continuing the series, usually a school band requirement.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year clarinet students continuing after Book 1
- Band programs already using this method series
- Replacing a damaged book during the school year
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners who have not worked through Book 1
- Players wanting solo pieces or concert repertoire
- Students whose director assigned a different series
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
Clarinet edition
Clarinet part only, written for B-flat clarinet so it sits correctly against the rest of the band.
Detail 03
Method book, not a songbook
Sequenced exercises that build in order. Skipping around undercuts how the material is laid out.
Detail 04
Part-specific, one book per player
Trumpet and flute players in the same room use their own editions. Everyone plays the same page number together.
Detail 05
$8.50
Consumable-textbook pricing. Reeds and books are both things you expect to replace, not preserve.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No clarinet, reeds, or accessories included — this is the book only
- 02Verify Book 2 and this series with your director before ordering
- 03A different instrument means a different edition, not this book
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Book 1 first?
Yes, in practice. Book 2 continues from where the first book ended and does not re-teach the basics.
02Will it line up with the rest of my band?
Yes, if they use the same series and book number. The parts are written to be played together in class.
03Can I learn clarinet from this on my own?
It is designed for a teacher-led class. Without one, nothing corrects embouchure, reed setup, or tone as you work through it.
04Is this for B-flat or bass clarinet?
This is the clarinet edition. Bass clarinet players should order the edition named for their instrument.
