The Rubank Elementary Method for French horn in F or E-flat and mellophone, edited by Joseph E. Skornicka, is an introductory method for individual instruction or a class of like instruments. Its compact, 48-page format brings fundamental technical work together with short musical applications, rather than separating beginning musicianship from learning the instrument.
The method includes scale and arpeggio work, articulation studies, and material for developing musicianship, with solos and duets that let students apply those skills in a musical setting. Teachers can use that combination to alternate focused exercises with playing that calls for a steady pulse, a shaped phrase, and attention to another musician.
This is the elementary horn and mellophone volume, published by Rubank as RUBL37. It is intended for the beginning stage of study, not the intermediate or advanced books in the Rubank series.
