KJOSStandard Of Excellence Book 2 French Horn
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Second-level French horn book in the Standard of Excellence band method. For a student who has already worked through Book 1.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year horn students continuing the series
- Replacing a Book 2 lost partway through the school year
- Practicing at home from the part used in class
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Complete beginners — start with Book 1 instead
- Trumpet, trombone or other players; each has its own edition
- Anyone after solo horn repertoire rather than a method book
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
French horn edition
Horn-specific part. The exercises match what the rest of the band plays from their own books.
Detail 03
Part of a graded series
The level number is what has to match the class, not just the series name.
Detail 04
One instrument per book
No transposing another instrument's book into horn. Buy the edition with French horn on the cover.
Detail 05
$8.50
Student-priced part book. Replacing a lost one costs less than photocopying a term's worth of pages.

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 it and starts above beginner level, so a first-time player will be lost.
02Can I use the trumpet book instead?
No. Horn parts are written separately and will not line up with what you are supposed to play.
03Is this the book my band class uses?
Only if the director assigned Standard of Excellence Book 2. Ask which series and level before ordering.
04What is included?
The French horn book. Nothing else.
