Rubank Elementary Method
If I’ve been playing the flute for 3 years and am top of my section which Rubank method book should I get?
I know I don’t need Elementary, but should I get intermidiate or advanced? I’m just afraid intermediate will be to easy or advanced will be to hard. I’m a pretty good player. I’ve made all-region (honor band) and have a range from low C- high G I can play 16th notes adn 32nd notes if I try really hard.
I would suggest looking at both of them at a music store to decide. The advanced method goes into B Major pretty early on (5 sharps) with sixteenth notes. There is also a ton of duets in the advanced method, so if you don’t have anyone to play them with (ie, a flute teacher), maybe just go with the Intermediate. Trust me, there’s a lot to work on in that book and it will take awhile to master it.
