Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between baritone T.C. and B.C.?
T.C. is treble clef, transposed so a trumpet reader can play it directly. B.C. is bass clef at concert pitch. Your director decides which one you use.
02Can a euphonium player use this?
Yes, if the player reads treble clef. Baritone and euphonium share the same fingerings and this part works for both.
03Is this the right book for a total beginner?
Yes. Book 1 starts from first notes, rhythms, and basic counting.
04Do I need the other instruments' books too?
No. Each player buys the book for their own instrument. The pages are written to be played together in one band.
