Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Book 1 first?
Yes for most students. Book 2 starts where Book 1 ends and assumes that first year of material.
02Does this work for bass clarinet?
No. Bass clarinet has its own part in the series with different range and fingerings.
03What does Enhanced mean?
It's the edition with added accompaniment and practice content over the plain book version.
04Is this a full year of material?
It's written as a second-year book, so it's typically paced across one school year in a band class.
