This two-book lot combines the Baritone B.C. student method book (Book 1) with the Piano/Guitar Accompaniment book for Book 2 in Bruce Pearson's Standard of Excellence band curriculum. They provide related but different part books rather than a matched sequential set for a single instrument, supporting both baritone students and piano or guitar accompanists.
The Baritone B.C. volume covers beginning baritone/euphonium setup, embouchure, instrument care, music-reading skills, and graded full-band exercises. The Piano/Guitar Accompaniment book supplies fully notated piano parts and chord symbols for the Book 2 band exercises, suitable for lesson support or ensemble rehearsals. ISBN: 0-8497-5100-4 (Book 1 Baritone B.C.); ISBN: 0-8497-5772-2 (Book 2 Piano/Guitar Accompaniment).
Condition: Two preowned softcover band method books with light shelf and edge wear to covers and corners. Baritone B.C. book shows a faint horizontal crease and small surface marks on the back cover; accompaniment book has a tiny crease at the lower back corner. Interiors appear clean and unmarked with secure bindings.
