- Horn students moving beyond beginner method books
- Private lesson curriculum with a teacher assigning weekly pages

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- First-year players who have not learned to read music

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
A second volume continues the sequence. Finishing this one is not the end of the Rubank advanced track.
Detail 03
Written for French horn specifically
Parts sit in horn's transposition and range. Not a general brass book adapted after the fact.
Detail 04
$9.99 print book
Cheap enough to keep a marked-up copy in the case and buy another when it falls apart.
Detail 05
Method book, not a songbook
Content is studies and exercises for building technique, not tunes you would perform.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No CD, no audio, no online tracks — this is paper only
- 02A metronome and tuner are assumed, not included
- 03Confirm you want horn; Rubank prints a separate book per instrument
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a beginner?
No. This is the advanced book in the Rubank series. Start with the Elementary or Intermediate method and move up when reading and range are solid.
02Do I need a teacher to use it?
You can work through it alone, but there is no instruction text guiding you. A teacher assigning pages and checking tone gets far more out of it.
03Is there a Volume 2?
Yes, Volume 1 is the first half of the advanced sequence.
04Does it come with audio or play-along tracks?
No. It is a printed book of exercises with no recordings.
