Re: Rubank Elementary lesson 11

One thing I did regularly with beginning students once they could play down to F3 comfortably was to have them play through selected chalumeau exercises and tunes that stayed within the range of E3 to C4, but with the register key open. There are a lot of simple tunes that stay within that 6-note range in addition to the book exercises that have already been learned. We would read the already familiar chalumeau notes, so the notation and the note names weren't relevant. Most kids could do it without any problem. Though I never taught adult beginners from scratch, I'm pretty sure this would be a very short step for them. Once the clarion notes are produced comfortably, the notation can be dealt with separately.
