C. Peterson, Joseph E. Skornicka: Books Review: Takes me back. - I used this book back in elementary school when I was learning to play. I recently decided to pick up the flute again after a long break, and read a few reviews stating that this, not the beginner book, would be the place to start in my situation. I’d have to agree with them. I couldn’t believe how much I remembered! Though honestly, it felt like my fingers knew what to do a lot more than my brain did. This book assumes you can already assemble, hold, and play notes on a flute, that you are familiar with the very basics of reading music (what time and key signatures are, what each note on the staff is, what note values are), and can already read and play very simple little ditties. Just the very basics are required. While it does contain more advanced versions of lessons in the beginner book (new time signatures, new minor and major key signatures) it largely focuses on developing techniques such as breath, volume control, articulation, and odd fingering transitions. It also introduces entirely new-to-the-student concepts such as “stinkopation” as my old teacher used to call it, grace notes, trilling (there’s a nice trill chart towards the back of the book, though not in the cover like the fingering chart is in the front), and other odds and ends to help you create a cleaner and more advanced musical sound when you play, rather than sloppy, choppy, and flat. This book, however, does not contain much actual instruction. I find it fine to use alone because a lot of this information was already buried deep in my memory. I only needed some reminders of its existence. Someone who is coming across this information for the first time and only has this book to reference is likely to find themselves confused before very long. As stated right on the cover, this book is meant to be used in lessons or classes. A newcomer would get the most out of it with a teacher to explain the what, how, when, and why. While I wish there were more intermittent FUN pieces to play, what is included is extremely useful and important to anyone learning to play the flute. I’ve been very pleased with what this book has done for my sound in the first month of playing again. The exercises and short pieces included are great for practicing and developing all previously-covered skills. TL;DR: It’s a blast from my past and effectively re-teaching me how to toot nicer flute sounds. Not for newcomer use without a teacher. Review: Flute - Great for beginners who work great following a book. This book has a lot of good knowledge inside it and is irks wonder for someone who is still learning to play the flute. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #26,340 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Flutes (Books) #162 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (697) | | Dimensions | 9 x 0.14 x 12 inches | | Edition | 0 | | ISBN-10 | 1423444221 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1423444220 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Rubank Educational Library, 75 | | Print length | 48 pages | | Publication date | March 1, 1992 | | Publisher | Rubank Publications | ## Images ![Rubank Intermediate Method: Flute or Piccolo (Rubank Educational Library, no. 75) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812pbxG626L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Takes me back. *by L***Y on March 21, 2022* I used this book back in elementary school when I was learning to play.
