KJOSStandard Of Excellence Book 2 Trumpet
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The trumpet part-book for the second year of the Standard of Excellence band method. For a student continuing the series, usually a school band requirement.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year trumpet students continuing after Book 1
- Band programs that already standardized on this method
- Replacing a lost or worn-out book mid-year
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-time trumpet players with no prior book
- Players wanting repertoire or solo sheet music
- Anyone whose director assigned a different method series
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
Trumpet edition
Contains the trumpet part only. Written for B-flat trumpet, so it lines up with the rest of the band's books.
Detail 03
Method book, not a songbook
Sequenced exercises that build skills in order. Pages are meant to be worked through, not browsed.
Detail 04
Part-specific, one book per player
A clarinet or flute player in the same class needs their own edition. The books are designed to be played together.
Detail 05
$8.50
Consumable-textbook pricing. Cheap enough to replace rather than repair when it falls apart.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No instrument, mouthpiece, or stand included — this is the book alone
- 02Confirm your director wants Book 2 and this exact series before ordering
- 03Buying for a different instrument means a different edition, not this one
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Book 1 before this one?
Yes, in practice. Book 2 picks up from the end of the first book and does not restart the fundamentals from scratch.
02Will this match what the rest of the band is playing?
Yes, if they are using the same series and book number. The parts are written to be played together in class.
03Can I use this to teach myself trumpet?
It works better with a teacher. The exercises are sequenced for a director to lead and to correct tone and technique as you go.
04Is the trumpet edition the same as the cornet one?
This is the trumpet book. Order the edition that matches the instrument named on your band's supply list.
