KJOSStandard Of Excellence Book 2 Enhanced Percussion
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Second-year percussion book in the Standard of Excellence band method. For a student who finished Book 1 and is continuing in class.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year school band percussionists continuing the same method series
- Replacing a lost or worn Book 2 percussion part mid-year
- Private students following a band-class curriculum at home
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners with no prior book — start at Book 1
- Drum set players wanting groove, fill or chart material
- Classes using a different method series; the parts don't line up
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
Enhanced edition
Part books are edition-specific. Match the edition the director uses or page numbers won't align.
Detail 03
Percussion part
Written for the percussion chair specifically, not a universal book. Each instrument in the band buys its own.
Detail 04
Runs about double the price of the wind parts
Percussion parts in band methods cover more than one instrument, so the book is bigger.
Detail 05
Softcover method book
Lives in a band folder and gets handled daily. Corners and staples go first.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the director's title, book number and edition before ordering — parts are not interchangeable
- 02One book per student; it is consumable and gets written in
- 03No instrument, sticks, mallets or practice pad included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I start with Book 2?
Not recommended. Book 2 picks up where Book 1 leaves off and assumes that material is already covered.
02Is this the same as the Book 1 Drums/Mallet Percussion book?
No. That is the first-year book. This is the second-year percussion part in the same series.
03Will this work if my class uses a different method?
No. Page numbers and exercise order won't match, so the student can't follow along in class.
04Do I need the sax or trumpet book too?
Only if you play those instruments. Each player buys the book for their own part.
