Hal LeonardRubank Advanced Method for Clarinet Volume 1
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The first volume of the Rubank advanced clarinet series. For players who have finished a beginner method and want structured technical study.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Clarinet students moving past a first-year method book
- Building scale and articulation technique with structured exercises
- Private lesson use where a teacher assigns weekly material
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who have not learned basic fingerings
- Players wanting songs or repertoire rather than exercises
- Anyone looking for audio accompaniment or play-along tracks
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Volume 1 of two
Volume 2 continues the sequence. Finishing this book leaves an obvious next step rather than a dead end.
Detail 03
Technical studies, not repertoire
Scales, arpeggios, articulation drills. You build mechanics rather than learn pieces to perform.
Detail 04
Print only
No audio, no online tracks, no code. Everything is on the page.
Detail 05
Clarinet-specific
Fingerings, keys, and range are written for B-flat clarinet, not adapted from a generic wind method.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is Volume 1 the book to start with?
Within the Advanced Method series, yes. But Rubank has elementary and intermediate books before it, so this assumes a year or two of playing.
02Does it include a CD or audio?
No. It is a printed book with no recordings or online access.
03Can I use this without a teacher?
Yes, though it is written for lesson use. Self-teaching works if you already read music and can hear your own intonation.
04Does it cover scales in all keys?
It is a technical method built around scale and arpeggio study for clarinet. Check the contents listing for the specific keys covered.
