Hello Band !! 🙂

Please check out the following links for our band book.

• Listening / play-along tracks — click HERE

• Videos — how to / tips & tricks — click HERE — videos about your instrument
  
  • Baritones — I’m not sure why they don’t have one for you — but if you watch the trombone (embouchure, creating a good sound, articulation) and tuba videos, most of the videos will apply to you as well.
