Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between B.C. and T.C. baritone?
B.C. is bass clef at concert pitch. T.C. is treble clef, transposed, and reads like a trumpet part. The two books teach different note-to-fingering relationships.
02Can a euphonium player use the baritone book?
Yes, if they read bass clef. The two instruments use the same fingerings and the same written part in most school programs.
03Is this the same level as the other Book 1 parts?
Yes. Book 1 across instruments is the same level and sequence, so a class can work through it together.
04Does a trombone player need this?
No. Buy the trombone book. Both read bass clef, but the books differ in slide and technique material.
