Rubank Advanced Method - Trombone or Baritone (1)

I got one of the books in the series back when I was in school, and figured out a lot of things I was never taught. I like that the cover style hasn't changed. This is a very useful book. With just alittle browsing I've already learned things that has improved my playing after getting back into the trombone.

good series

I purchased this book for my son who is in his second year playing trombone. The exercises are excellent for improving his range and mastery of slide positions - including alternative positions. Included are progressive studies that are challenging yet not too daunting for a new student.As a returning player, I've used the book to strengthen my embrasure and recall how to play. Its an excellent resource that is fun to play through. I highly recommend this book.

First off, I can't believe how cheap this music book is. $7.99 is very inexpensive for how much value you get in this book. Far better than any typical Hal Leonard book out there.As for the music, this is a fabulous book for people with several years of experience playing trombone. This book is a very valuable resource even for adults who want good practice material. I was initially worried this would be a bit too elementary, luckily that worry was quickly put to rest. That said, this would still be a very playable book for high school trombonists who are serious in their playing and willingness to learn.I graduated over ten years ago, and it had been nearly that long since I had last picked up my trombone. I only recently decided to pick it back up and start practicing (and making it a hobby), and this is the book I decided to go with. And I'm satisfied with that decision. Great book.

Superb book of short manageable studies - I love it.
