Huggy is back!
Taking it up a fifth means using Wild Turkey for valve oil!

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with transposing Arban into any other key, but I have to admit F transposition is not my favorite.

To answer the thread owners question, every page in the Arban book is good for range and endurance, IF you are playing them correctly.

The Arban book is a conservatory method designed for players that practice regularly, enough AND have highly qualified teachers.

Huggy, love is a word I reserve for VERY special things, but I like you alot too! You kind of add color to TM.
