KJOSStandard Of Excellence Book 2 Flute
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Second-level band method book for flute. For a student who has completed Book 1 and is continuing in a school band program.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year flute students in a middle school band
- Programs that already use the Standard of Excellence series
- Continuing straight on from the Book 1 flute edition
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners who have never assembled a flute — start at Book 1
- Piccolo-only or alto flute players needing a dedicated part
- Players wanting solo repertoire rather than class exercises
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
Flute edition
Flute is a C instrument, so this part is at concert pitch. Clarinet and sax editions are transposed.
Detail 03
Band method
Exercise numbers match across every instrument's edition so the full band works from the same page.
Detail 04
Student softcover
Light, thin and stays open on a stand, but it will curl if it lives loose in a backpack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the director assigned Book 2 of this specific series
- 02Book only — no flute, cleaning rod or music stand included
- 03One copy per student; the band cannot share a single 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. Book 2 continues directly from Book 1 and does not re-teach tone production, fingerings or basic rhythms.
02Can a piccolo player use the flute book?
Fingerings match, so the notes work, but the part is written for flute and sounds an octave higher on piccolo.
03Is this the same as the clarinet book?
No. Same series and same exercise numbers, but clarinet is transposed. Each player needs their own instrument's edition.
04Does it work for private lessons?
It can, though it is paced for a full band class. A teacher will likely supplement it with tone and scale work.
