Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for a first-year student?
Yes. Book 1 is the beginning book in the series and starts from the very first notes.
02Can a baritone player use this?
Buy the edition matching the instrument. This one is written for trombone; other instruments have their own editions in the series.
03Does it include the instrument or accessories?
No. This is the printed book by itself. Instrument, mouthpiece, slide oil and stand are all separate.
04Can students on different instruments use this together?
Yes. The series publishes matching editions per instrument, so a class can work through the same material in rehearsal.
