KJOSStandard Of Excellence Book 3 French Horn
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Third-level band method book for French horn in the Standard of Excellence series. For a student two years in continuing the same method.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Third-year horn players continuing a director-assigned method
- Middle or high school band students moving past Book 2
- Keeping up over a summer break between school years
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Beginners — Book 3 assumes two years of playing
- Trumpet or mellophone players; the part is horn-specific
- Anyone looking for solo or orchestral horn repertoire
What matters in use

Detail 02
French horn edition
Written for horn. Other brass books in the series cover the same lessons with different parts and keys.
Detail 03
Standard of Excellence series
Pages align across instruments, so a whole band works the same lesson at the same time.
Detail 04
KJOS published
Standard school band publisher, so directors and music stores identify the book by series and level.
Detail 05
$8.50
Consumable student pricing. Expect to write in it rather than keep it pristine.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need Books 1 and 2 first?
You need the playing level they build. Book 3 starts there and doesn't cover beginner material again.
02Is this for single or double horn?
It's the French horn part for the series. It works on either; the book is about music, not the horn's valve setup.
03Can a mellophone player use it?
No. Mellophone reads a different part. Use the book written for that instrument.
04Is this the Enhanced edition?
This is the Standard of Excellence Book 3 French Horn book. If your director asked for the Enhanced edition, verify the exact edition before buying.
