Rubank Advanced Method - Flute Vol. 2 (Rubank Educational Library)

"Ageless technique study" according to Reid Becker. I have been using the Rubank Method since I was a kid in the sixties. I played the clarinet and rose to the top seat of my high school band. I also placed well in all-county and all-state bands. I took up the flute six years ago and chose to use the Method for Flute (I was happy to see it was still around) and I have come a long way: up to Advanced Vol 2. Now I play with a community symphonic band. The Rubank method has excercies that will help you with fingering combinations that you will find in most music. Particulary more difficult music. If you work on the excersices daily, you will be able to handle almost any difficult passage. Dani said Great for high school level flute player-. I love this book! I got it during high school when I wanted a little more of a challenge on my own. Really good for if you want to work on the more difficult major and minor scales.. "Great" according to Kristen. Great price, fast ship. My daughter needs this for her flute lessons and she's already practicing.
