The Korena take

- Bari sax students following a director-assigned method sequence
- Continuing at home over summer between school years
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere

What matters in use
The specifications, translated

A separate edition from the plain Standard of Excellence book. Check which one your director listed.
Detail 04
Standard of Excellence series
Books across the band line up page by page, so a full ensemble can play from the same lesson.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this the same as Book 1?
No. Book 2 continues from Book 1 and assumes that material. If you haven't finished Book 1, buy that first.
02Can I use the alto sax book instead?
No. Each instrument gets its own book with its own written part. Baritone sax players need the bari sax edition.
03What does Enhanced mean here?
It marks a distinct edition of the book. Since directors specify one or the other, match the exact edition on your class list.
04Do I need Book 1 to use this?
You need the skills from it. Book 2 starts at that level and doesn't re-teach the basics.
