Detail 03
Band method format
Written so the whole band plays the same numbered line together. Best used inside a class.
Detail 04

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can a regular clarinet player use this book?
The fingerings transfer, but the exercises are written for bass clarinet range. A Bb clarinet player should get the clarinet edition.
02Is Book 1 for absolute beginners?
Yes. It starts with first notes and basic rhythm reading.
03Does this work for private lessons?
It can, though the exercises are built for a full band playing together. A teacher can fill in the missing parts.
04Do I need Book 2 right away?
No. Book 1 typically covers a full first year before students move on.
