Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work for cornet or just trumpet?
Both. The book is written for either instrument, since cornet and trumpet share the same fingerings and written range.
02Should I start here or with an earlier Rubank book?
Start earlier unless you read fluently and have a stable tone across your range. Rubank publishes Elementary and Intermediate methods below this one.
03Does it include songs?
No. It is a technical method — exercises and studies, not tunes.
04Is there audio included?
No. Print only, no recordings or download code.
