Hal LeonardRubank Intermediate Method Trombone Baritone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A $7.99 intermediate method book for trombone or baritone, for a player who already reads music and wants structured practice material.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Second- or third-year band students moving past beginner material
- Private lesson students needing a shared book with a teacher
- Adult returners rebuilding technique in order
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who have never produced a tone
- Players wanting song repertoire rather than technical study
- Anyone needing treble-clef baritone parts
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
Covers trombone and baritone in one book
Both instruments read the same notes at the same pitch, so one set of exercises serves either player.
Detail 03
Method, not a songbook
Material is sequenced to build skill in order. You work through it front to back, not by picking favorites.
Detail 04
Rubank series
Part of a graded line, so there is a level below and above this one if the fit is wrong.
Detail 05
$7.99 print book
Cheap enough to buy a second copy for a teacher or to replace when a stand mangles it.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for trombone or baritone?
Both. The two instruments read the same notes at the same pitch, so the exercises work unchanged on either one.
02Can a complete beginner start here?
No. This is the intermediate volume. A first-time player should start with the elementary method for the same instruments.
03Does it come with recordings?
No. It is a print book only, with no audio or download included.
04Will this work for treble-clef baritone?
This edition is written for trombone and baritone reading together. A treble-clef baritone player needs a T.C. edition instead.
