Summary of This Method
The Rubank Advanced Methods represent a logical and ambitious continuation for instrumentalists wishing to advance their technical and musical skills. Designed as a progressive course, this method offers clearly organized units to consolidate fundamentals and establish "advanced level" practice habits: consistency, precision, sound control, and autonomy.
The program emphasizes scales and arpeggios with complete coverage of all major and minor keys across both books. This approach promotes smoother sight-reading, better harmonic understanding, and increased confidence in modulating passages, often encountered in orchestra, harmony, or competition repertoire.
The musical dimension is not neglected: the method develops melodic interpretation through demanding duets (more than 20 per volume), ideal for enhancing listening skills, rhythmic placement, and balance. For individual preparation, it also includes competition-level solos, useful for structuring practice, building an interpretation, and preparing for performance.
Finally, chapters dedicated to articulation and instrument-specific skills complete a very comprehensive pedagogy: fingerings for woodwinds, flexibility for brass, and sticking for percussion. Ornamentation is also covered, with an introduction to various types of ornaments to enrich style and expressiveness.
