See my other post on timings. The Rubank Elementary is only too fast if you
try to do it in a year. It is intended to be a *two year* book. Thus each
lesson should be used for at least two weeks and a student doesn't get to
the clarion until the middle of the second semester.

I agree it can be a tedious book though. The teachers need to take the
extra step of including interesting supplemental material.

(Okay so I'm a true believer. To me, this series is the reason that I could
pick up my clarinet after a 22 year hiatus and find myself being given 1st
clarinet parts in the community bands).
