  • Great Refresher
Format: Paperback
It has been many years since I have played the flute. I bought this book as a refresher. It contains a fingering chart which was very helpful. It has been helpful in picking back up the flute. I do not think this would be a good book for someone first learning to play the flute if they don't have previous musical experience with reading music and theory. ... show more

  • Perfectly challenging for a beginner.
Format: Paperback
I played the French Horn in high school. I've been missing music so I decided to teach myself the flute. The Rubank book is great. I also bought the same elementary method boo we used in grade school band. The Rubank is actually challenging me enough to move through the other book faster. You can tell the Rubank is prepping you for playing solo pieces. ... show more

  • Works well, but it doesn’t help without a teacher helping you.
Format: Paperback
This book teaches you all kinds of things. I use this book with my teacher and it’s amazing. I don’t recommend buying without having someone teaching you along the way. Also the book is easy to break. The cover broke after a month.

  • Excellent Method...a Blast From the Past
Format: Paperback
After obtaining a 50s era flute at a silent auction and having it reconditioned, I looked for a flute method that I could use to teach myself to play. The Rubank Method popped up and I was immediately flooded with memories from my childhood in the 60s when my music teacher used this method to teach me the clarinet. I recalled it as an effective (and fun) method with some pretty interesting drills. I immediately ordered all the flute books in the series from beginner to advanced vol. 2. I had previously ordered two other flute method books and was disappointed...too much history and music theory and no logical sequential approach to learning. I can't begin to convey how excited I am to have found this method...even the cover is exactly the same...and the price can't be beat. This series is a "must" for any serious student of the flute. ... show more

  • Rubank - best book to learn rudiments and fundamentals
Format: Paperback
I am a music teacher and give private lessons. I have used the RUBANK METHOD SERIES for 40 years. I started with it as a young student myself. It is as good now as it was then for the fundamentals. Best method book on the market. Other books are filled with songs/tunes that students are familiar with and the problem with that is they play by rote- meaning they play it the way they know the tune and don’t learn to “count” it as written. No fundamentals. Stuck with Rubank ... show more
