KJOSStandard Of Excellence Book 2 Tuba
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Book 2 of the KJOS Standard of Excellence band method, tuba edition. For a tuba student who has already finished Book 1 in the same series.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second-year tuba students continuing the series
- Directors restocking tuba books for a class
- Private lesson students following a school band curriculum
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-year players — start with Book 1
- Players wanting solo repertoire rather than a method
- Any instrument other than tuba

Class-set pricing. Cheap enough to replace mid-year when one gets lost.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Finish Book 1 first — Book 2 assumes that material
- 02No conductor's score or other instrument parts included
- 03Verify your director uses Standard of Excellence before buying, as method series are not interchangeable
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 continues directly from Book 1 and assumes those notes, rhythms and range are already learned.
02Will this work for a baritone or trombone player?
No. Each instrument has its own book in the series. Buy the one that matches the horn.
03Is a director's score included?
No. This is the tuba student book only.
04Do I need my own copy?
Yes. Students write in and read from their own book throughout the year.
