Rubank Advanced Method - Trombone or Baritone: An Outlined Course of Study Designed to Follow Up Any of the Various Elementary and Intermediate Methods: Vol 2

Rubank Advanced Method - Trombone or Baritone, Vol. 2 is an advanced band method for trombone, baritone B.C., and euphonium players who have completed elementary and intermediate study and are ready for a structured next step.

Edited by H. Voxman and William Gower, this outlined course is designed to follow virtually any standard instructional method. Rubank Advanced Methods are widely regarded as a gold standard of advanced instrumental study, offering a disciplined path toward stronger technique, musical maturity, and confident performance.

The specially designed units provide a complete pedagogy: scales and arpeggios covering all major and minor keys across the full two-book course; melodic interpretation with 20+ contest-level duets; solo preparation with six contest-level solos; articulation studies specialized for brass; flexibility exercises; and a thorough introduction to ornamentation.

Because the progression is logical and performance-focused, teachers value it for private lessons and band instruction, while advancing players appreciate having both technical studies and substantial repertoire in one trusted volume. It supports consistent daily practice, reinforces tone quality and control, and helps turn fundamentals into reliable, stage-ready skills suitable for auditions and ensemble leadership.
