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 from where Book 1 ends and assumes that range, position work and reading are already in place.
02Will this work for baritone or euphonium?
No. Get the baritone book. Even in bass clef, the series publishes a separate edition per instrument.
03Can my whole band use the same page numbers?
Yes. The series aligns exercises across instrument books so a full band can work through them together.
04Is this book for beginners?
Not for true beginners. Start with Book 1 of the series and move to Book 2 after.
